The second segue of the cognac house with Parisian luxury trunk maker T.T. Trunks renders a rare induction into the equestrian world. The first copy contains all the accessories for the taster to slip into the skin of the rider, brushes, comb hair, weeder, coverage, et al. This delightful display of Haute horsemanship combines with a precious carafe, containing a veritable blend of very old vintage cognacs as well. The Grande Champagne blend reveals an incredibly plush palette of aromas, where candied citrus fruit notes are accented with dashes of rich, dried fruit. The intense, entrancing mélange is rounded off with a refined hint of rancio marvelously.
