DELORD ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1987
- Ageing Eau-de-vie from the 1987 harvest alone, aged in oak casks
- Cask Oak casks, in the house cellars at Lannepax (Gers)
The 1987 from Delord plays the fruit card wholeheartedly. Its tasting notes list quince, muscat, dried apricot and mirabelle plum on the nose, with a touch of vanilla, followed by a complex palate where liquorice, raisin, fig, apricot, cinnamon and orange zest all come into play. The colour is a deep amber with copper highlights. Distilled at Lannepax thirty-nine years ago, this eau-de-vie has never been blended with any other year. A 70 cl basquaise bottle at 40% vol., presented in a wooden case.
