D'usse VSOP Cognac 750 ml

D'Usse was developed as a brand and is a bit cagey about age and appellation. It's curiously dark amber for a VSOP, but the nose is bright and fresh, featuring aromas of plum, citrus and lavender. Those fresh fruity, floral notes carry onto the palate, culminating in a surprisingly lengthy finish. Solid and well-made. If Jay-Z did select this (as the brand story goes), he created a pretty darn enjoyable VSOP, though a tad pricey. 92 Points Vinous
