1969 Hine Grande Champagne Cognac (bottled in 1999)

This vintage cognac has medium intensity amber colour. On nose it gives quite high intensity aromas of orange, honey, caramel, prune, vanilla, tropical fruit and touch of nutmeg and floral note.  Water dilutes everything. Dry with medium acidity, well integrated medium alcohol, quite full bodied with touch of wood tannin. On palate it has medium intensity flavours of orange peel, prune, vanilla, and touch of honey. Fairly long length with orange peel finish. (93) Good nose but a bit weak palate.

酒的香氣很好，算得上強而複雜，加水後沒有變化，令我打了個突。入口果然是比酒香差了，不論在強度和複雜性也是，餘韻算長，加返點分。整體來說不錯，亦說明了年份干邑始終有點限制。
