this weekend my brother in law opened a bottle of vintage courvoisier in celebration of his new daughter.....it was a gift from a patient of his, and we are fairly sure that it was about 100 years old (aged 60, then sat in his patients house for another 35-40)...i don't have a picture of the bottle, but i do remember it said "courvoisier of napoleon" or somthing similar, and that it was from France (champagne)....the bottle itself seemed to be green in color, and looked very old
anyone have any idea what a bottle of this would cost? i know we would need alot more details to be exact, but any good guess is appreciated...another family member, who is very educated about wine & spirits, estimated up to $1000
unfortunately, im not a big brandy/cognac (right?) drinker, so i can't effective relay what it was like....it was VERY dark (like cola), had a very sweet smell, and tasted very strongly....pretty useless description, huh? anyway, it was cool just to try something that i knew was special, even if i didn't fully appreciate the flavor
