Dartigalongue Armagnac Vintage 1986

  • Ageing Vintage 1986, a single harvest

This 1986 was selected by Dartigalongue, alongside the 1979, the 1983, the 1992 and the 1994, to make up the Louis-Philippe cuvée for the house's 180th anniversary. Here it stands alone, with its nose of toasted oak, vanilla and dried fruits. The palate, fairly delicate, offers floral notes and a smooth texture, leading to a finish of sweet almond. This is a gentle, rounded vintage that can easily be shared with enthusiasts less accustomed to very old armagnacs. 70 cl bottle in a gift box, for the year 1986.
