In last 6 month author of this email tasted following Cognacs:

Delamain -Vesper
        -Pale & Dry

Gabriel&Andreu - 35 year
    - 25  year

Prunier  - 20 years old

Pierre Ferrand - Ancestral
           - Abel
           - Selection 

Hine - Antique

Frapin - Château Fontpinot

The Delamain was possibly best to my subjective  taste, with competition from Gabriel & Andreu.  Delamain is light in aroma and taste, and Vesper have long finish .
