Dartigalongue Armagnac Vintage 1988

  • Ageing Vintage 1988, single harvest

In 1936, Pierre Dartigalongue was doing fine business in the United States, travelling there regularly on the transatlantic Le Havre-New York route.

The attack is fairly round, with notes of dried fruit, before the finish tightens and turns refined. This vintage is also available as a Single Cask from the house; this is the collection version, presented in a gift box, for the year 1988.
