Calvados VSOP

NV/MV France Normandy
93 Points

This is a blend of Calvados aged from four to 10 years. Packed with baked apple, vanilla, oak and warming spices, it has an overall effect that reads like shortbread cookies and apple compote warmed with cinnamon stick and clove. Hints of pecan, orange peel and black pepper add complexity. Best Buy. -K.N.

Copper penny-bright in the glass, this blend of 4- to 10-year-old brandies offers a lively scent that mixes baked apple, fresh pear, cedar and vanilla. A burst of baking spice leads the palate, smoothed by concentrated caramel, which slides into a lightly sweet finish laced with orange peel and baked apple.
