A delicate, 8-year-old Armagnac from Darroze in the Bas Armagnac region, bottled at approximately 43% ABV. It presents an aromatic beginning with notes of dried fruit, prunes & rancio; its rich development adds notes of citrus peel, grape, quince jam & licorice; leading to a balanced, medium-length finish with notes of caramel, cinnamon, biscuit & a hint of oak.

Young and vibrant, yet wonderfully balanced and delightful.
Strong taste of aged grapes, a bit sharp but in a positive way
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
