Forty years of marriage is an emerald wedding anniversary; forty years of age, a fine milestone. On its former website, the house of Delord featured its 1986 in a selection of five vintages, noting a nose of great amplitude with a predominantly floral character. Its tasting notes add almond kernel and spices (cinnamon, pepper), followed by a palate of fresh flowers, tea, spices and dried thyme. A single harvest, distilled at Lannepax, bottled at 40% vol.: presented in a basquaise bottle of 70 cl with a wooden gift box.
