Jean Martell's Cognac L’Or
The unique master piece that is embodied in this fine spirit drink, the Cognac L'Or from the Martell House, delivers a sophisticated and sensory full experience to anyone that has the privilege of coming in contact with it. The four kinds of "eaux-de-vie" used, a carefully selected combination of the house's production, have one of the most refined aging processes in the Martell's house, inside oak barrels.
This denomination, "eaux-de-vie", is given to a fruits liquor, produced through fermenting and double distillation, the process giving birth to a colorless, fruit smelling liquor, usually quite light.
The contribution given to L'Or from the "eaux-de-vie" results in a complex and rich taste, smell and color. As the aging goes, the sugary fruit flavors in each eaux reflect themselves, the Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, FIns Bois and Borderies.
An intense amber color, with streaks of mahogany, almost gold like, enchant anyone that takes time to appreciate these small details. As of scent, this cognac delivers scents such as orange and plum, traces of cinnamon and spices. When stirred a bit, small traces of dry walnuts, agar wood and oriental forests can also be identified.
To the taste, its smooth and gentle, things like gooseberry, rancio and dry fruits make it embodied and intense, finishing in an incredible invasion of orange, plum, spices and ginger. Truly to be enjoyed by cognac lovers.
Price: $3.600

Champagne Dom Pérignon Vintage 2002
Every good wine lover must probably know the name Dom Pérignon, one of the most renowned brands worldwide of champagne. They produce vintage champagne, which is only produced every few years since its made differently than regular champagne or wine.
the 2002 crop had a nice primeval period, warm and dry. Summer had nice long sunny days with a bit of rain in between. 
With a slight scent of fresh almonds, accompanied by some lemon and dry fruits and small nuances that can be described as fumed and toasted.
As for taste, it's a perfect and intense champagne with an elegant bitter pitch.
It's not an every day champagne and it's really recommended more towards people that really enjoy wine, not that it can't be tasted by anyone, but some will most likely absorb much more from it.
Price: $530.00
