Pieter von Malternative Belgium schreiben zum #33 Temps Magique: "Visiting Pierre Vaudon's cellars feels like coming home. Knowledge, craftsmanship and transparency combined with a very good location of the vineyards (the terroir) create masterful cognacs. In June 2021, we had the pleasure of tasting extensively with Pierre Vaudon some of Paradis' treasures. We enjoyed these sublime cognacs and how much we wished we could do something with this. Now, between wanting something and being allowed to select something there is a big difference. We felt great confidence in each other and were convinced that we could aspire to a wonderful collaboration. We were allowed to select some phenomenal cognacs that we would bottle each time on our Belgian national holiday. In Charente, a word is a word and so it was. In 2021 we had the '71, in 2022 the '48, in 2023 the '28 and now on 21/07/2024 the '20 was bottled! This exceptional cognac has magically stood the test of time! 

Tasting Notes:
Nose: An enchanting nose full of aromas of old leather, tobacco, overripe persimmon, papaya and dried fruits. Subtle notes of toasted nuts, walnuts and a hint of truffle complete the profile. The presence of rancio is unmistakable. 
Taste: On the palate, a true symphony of flavors unfolds. Complex layers of roasted and sweetened nuts, dark chocolate and dried figs are blended with a powerful rancio tone that settles deep into the taste buds. There is an almost mysterious balance between sweetness and acidity that feels like a delicate dance of flavors taking their time to evolve on the tongue. Again, ripe fruit sets the tone. The layering of this cognac is phenomenal! 
Finish: The finish is long, rich and silky smooth. This is where the cognac shows its true age and grandeur. There is a grandiose power going on in this cognac! 

Explanation label: 
This cognac is a masterpiece that feels timeless. The years have not only outlived the distillate, but enriched it with an intensity you can hardly grasp. Each sip seems like a step back in time, where magic and craftsmanship meet in a glass full of history.While tasting, time will stand still for a moment and everything else becomes secondary."
