Frapin "1270" Cognac Grande Champagne, 1er Cru de Cognac

Frapin, which remains a single-family estate, has issued this 6-8 year old blend in a gorgeous, elegant bottle.  It is an estate-grown cognac--the grapes are all grown on the Frapin estate before being fermented and distilled--and the resulting brandy is as distinctive as the bottle.  The deep, natural mahogany color is rich and inviting, as is the woodsy aroma.  There are some bright peachy flavors with some spice in the finish.
