Colour: Light copper.
Nose: The alcohol integration could’ve been slightly better. That’s fruity with plums, dried apricots, mangoes, raspberries, oranges. Then we have caramel candies, brown sugar, vanilla, hazelnuts and nuts. Pleasant nose despite the alcohol integration to start the session.
Mouth: Very spiced, too spiced. Wood, tannins, ginger, chilies, butter caramel, lemons, white pepper, orange peels, grapefruits, tobacco, buns, grilled hazelnuts and toffee.That’s complex but lacks a bit of balance due to the spicy notes overpresence.
Finish: Long and slightly bitterish. Burnt wood, almonds, tobacco and leather.

This one refers me to some heavy agricole oldies such as Ballys for example. Some flaws are lowering score but it remains a pleasant Armagnac.

Score: 85

Colour: Copper.
Nose: That’s different, very different and I already prefer this one’s profile even if it’s less fruity. Plums, burnt rubber, hazelnuts, pecan nuts, dark chocolate, marzipan, vanilla, espresso, mocha, toffee, tobacco and leather. My words should inspire you some similraties with rum, isn’t it?
Mouth: Pleasant thick texture. Plums, sultanas, spices, ginger, chilies, black grapes, burnt rubber, bitter smoke, blackberries, brown sugar, overcooked caramel and candle wax. Really gourmand mouth with familiar aromas (from Demerara & Caroni), perfectly fitting with winter season!
Finish: Long enough and refined. Vanilla cream, honey, ashes, raspberries, toffee and burnt wood.

A very refined Armagnac, stunning quality and balance with aromas that talks to me. Good job for this very nice selection!

Score: 90
