DELORD ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1987
- Ageing eau-de-vie from the 1987 harvest, bottled after several decades of ageing in the cellars
- Cask aged in Gascon oak casks in the cellars of Armagnac Delord at Lannepax
The 1987 vintage from Armagnac Delord is a single-harvest eau-de-vie, distilled and then aged for many years in Gascon oak casks in the family cellars at Lannepax, in the Gers. On the nose, it reveals a fruity character: quince, muscat, dried apricot, mirabelle plum; and spice: vanilla. The palate is complex, offering notes of liquorice, dried fruits (raisin, fig, apricot), spice (cinnamon) and orange zest. Bottled at 40% vol. in a 70 cl bottle, this vintage Armagnac is equally suited to leisurely sipping or to a gift of distinction.
