Man, this place has been dead. Let's breathe some life into this blog again.
This is a quick review of a Frapin vintage dated cognac. Frapin is located in Grande Champagne and has been producing cognac since the 1600s, way before Marie Antoinette had a date with the guillotine. Frapin is a grower / producer and their estate is 240 hectares. The Frapin website provides a lot of details about the house and I've linked the website below.
I purchased a sample of this bottle from an overseas retailer.
N: caramel, pears, apricots, and some brisk sea air
P: toffee candies, red delicious apples, walnuts and apricots...some bitter citrus rind, too. It’s mildly astringent for being lower proof and there is some oak at work.

F: medium length where bitter citrus rind is the last note to taper off.
Thoughts: this cognac was fine. Nothing awe inspiring, nothing offensive. It's definitely overpriced at 150sh usd.
Grade: B -
