Dartigalongue Armagnac Vintage 1973

This vintage 1973 Bas-Armagnac from the family house Dartigalongue, bottled at 42% vol. in a 70 cl decanter, opens on a delicate nose with notes of vanilla, clove and red fruits.

Patiently aged in oak casks at the heart of Bas-Armagnac, this 1973 is best enjoyed as a digestif, slowly, to fully appreciate the work of time.
