Château de Laubade Bas-Armagnac 1980

The aroma presents white wine, cherry coated in chocolate, oak, vanilla, pear, and crackers. The taste brings hot cinnamon, dry wood, white wine, and pepper. A whisper of sweetness like raisin, fig, and caramel emerges, but it's very subtle. The aftertaste is dry, toasted, and woody, with hints of chocolate, vanilla, raisin, and gunpowder.

Tasted poolside thanks to a friend. It leans heavily into fruit with a wonderful tartness and is exceptionally sweet on the palate, offering notes of maple syrup, brown sugar, fig, and fruit. Wow, this is delicious.
