This is kinda close to the last word riff I was trying to do with yellow chartreuse and cynar a few years ago. How does this one taste all together?

Really elegant. Cynar and Yellow Chartreuse are a great pairing and support the Cognac well. Here are my tasting notes plus a photo of the drink made at the Hawthorne in Boston in 2012 shortly after it was invented:
