The cognac in question and its namesake get equal billing in this eye-catching ad. A red and orange-plumed bird is poised atop (perhaps guarding) a brown vat. The bird's bright colors against the black background "is a typical Cappiello ploy to insure that we take a second look" (Wine Spectator 169). Cappiello 267.
