DELORD ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1980 MAGNUM 150 cl

  • Ageing Eau-de-vie from the 1980 harvest alone, aged in oak casks
  • Cask Oak casks, in the house cellars at Lannepax (Gers)

This magnum brings together in a 150 cl pot gascon the 1980 harvest from Delord. The format invites sharing, and the vintage invites conversation: hyacinth, violet and citrus on the nose, quince, prune and roasted notes on the palate, followed by a long, warming finish, according to the house tasting notes.

ColourLight amber with copper highlights
NoseRich, elegant and highly complex: hyacinth, violet, citrus
PalateRound and smooth: citrus, candied fruits (quince, prune), roasted notes
FinishLong, pleasant and warming

Serve with Neat, or paired with a cigar, a chocolate dessert or an arabica coffee, as the house suggests
