Gérard Bertrand Legend Vintage Rivesaltes 1969

As soon as you open the bottle, the bouquet is intense, fine, and complex. It mingles dried fruits, apricots, cherry brandy, tobacco, and malt, with a hint of rancio and cocoa. The palate is suave, smooth, and elegant, with notes of spices, bitter orange, jammy fruits, and coffee.

Serve with Roquefort, chocolate or walnut cake.
