Cognac "Bolgrad" 4 Stars

A brandy from Ukraine

 Brought over from Ukraine by a friend, this is an entry-level but thoroughly-pleasant four year-old brandy.

A dark walnut colour, warming, fiery and youthful with dried fruit and sweet vanilla with woody-oaky spices; a touch of nail polish.
Drink as a digestif, with mature cheeses, fruit crumble or dark bitter chocolate.
