Chateau Langoa Barton 2001
Is this the vinous equivalent of that old, comfortable, slightly moth eaten woollen cardigan at the back of your closet? An evocative nose - but odd (compared to what I’ve been drinking recently, which is not claret) - camphor and leather to open, a curious fusty perfume, it's only later that I find any fruit - more plum than black currant. Very savoury, long and fine tannins, leafy, mature, dense, meaty and inky. Quite suave. Riddled with brettanomyces, but likeable. On blind tasting - I've been reading Andy Clark's book - 'The Experience Machine' , it's about the idea that our brains operate as predictive machines. Our expectations (coloured by our conditioning) determine how we interpret sensory signals. . . For instance - I sniff at a blinded white wine - a hint of grass and green, it's very sharp in the mouth, medium bodied. . . I think, automatically and lazily - semillon. . . which makes me cautiously reflect every time I think semillon it ends up being a riesl

Guinness World Records Crowns 328-Year-Old Bottle as World’s Oldest Cognac
The appeal of vintage spirits, or “dusties” is two-fold. They function as a time capsule, offering a tangible view into another era of distilled spirits, but there’s also the exclusivity element. Once a dusty’s gone, there’s a slim chance that you’ll find another one just like it. And on August 11, the Guinness World Records association officially recognized what is possibly the mother of all vintage spirits: a bottle of 1696 Jules Robin Cognac owned by Cognac collector Lars Janssen in the Netherlands.

The 25 Best Cognacs for 2023
If you’re looking for proof of the “premiumization” trend in alcohol, Cognac offers a fine example. Between 2016 and 2021, dollar sales in the U.S. grew a staggering 64.4 percent, according to data from the Distilled Spirits Council, with the “super premium” price range leading the charge. All things told, sales topped out at close to $3.5 billion in 2021, the most recent year for which the organization has published data.
