I find the same with older cognacs, Sceptical. I was rather skeptical, no pun intended, of their quality but found I had to let them breathe a little before consuming and to open up the flavor.

Came across a dusty bottle of Cordon Bleu we had laying around. Hadn't had it in a year. Perfect on a chilly day.

Now, this is something I have not come across before: What exactly is it (when it makes an appearance in liquid form)?

The legendary dish, I, of course know.
 
It's a cognac offered by Martell. It's alright. For the money, there are better cognacs. That said, I didn't buy it so I'll enjoy every last drop. It's around 105 quid at an off license, or was last time I saw it in the isles. Probably higher now to reflect the bump in the overseas prices. There were a few pronounced scenes in one or two Bond films with the bottle and label in clear view for the cinema goers.

Agree that there are better cognacs: For that money, I'd go for a Remy Martin, but hope you enjoyed it.
 
Filthy day here, today, cold, dark, overcast, deeply depressing, lashing rain, fairly chucking down; have opened a bottle of Recioto della Valpolicella (a rich, robust, Italian red wine) to accompany me on my musings tonight.

Sipping a glass (or three) of Recioto della Valpolicella.
[doublepost=1548278683][/doublepost]With a small bowl: This contains diced (aged) Stilton, and diced Gouda. And a cocktail stick or two. Very tasty.

They're invisible. You'll have to find a hidden document somewhere under the state Capitol building and it'll give you some witchcraft lessons on how to make them physically appear. In mean time, send over your dues.
