Pour a reasonable amount into a snifter/ballon glass.
Lift the glass so the ballon is resting in your palm. This will warm the Cognac and give it greater aroma.
Admire the colour and smell. Swill it about and look at how it falls down the side of the glass (legs).
When smelling go for short sharp sniffs. This will give you maximum smell and let you pick out the flavours. When doing this try to describe what you smell without using the words "alcohol", "cognac", "brandy", "grapes" etc... Things like "bananas" are more descriptive.
Sip the cognac once you have smelt it. You dont need much just enough to wet your lips and tongue. Move it around in your mouth then breath in over the cognac to get full flavours. Repeat.
I find it goes very well with chocolate. Lindt works well, but go for your favorite one that dosnt have nuts or buiscit inside it. If you can get 99% Lindt it is perfect! Let the chocolate melt on your tongue and then cut through it with the cognac.

M$Pour 20-25 ml of cognac into the wineglass and heat in a palm for 8-10 minutes. If you warm up the wineglass in another way, for example by burn-in lighter, all aromatic matters will evaporate.
Take the wineglass and … Look at the surface. The cognac color can tell you much. For example, the light-straw color points to young cognacs, straw-yellow, amber, golden and auburn-red - to older. Always look at the color – it characterizes the age of cognac.
Then you should smell cognac. Put the nose to the edge of the wineglass and inhale " montant odors". It’s usually floral or fruit odors: violets, iris, rose, pear, cherry, apricot, plum, fig, quince, grapefruit, jasmine, chestnut, orange zest, nut, or peach. Come off and shake up cognac, now bring the wineglass to the nose again, inhale ...
...
Now you are ready to try cognac. Make a small sip.
