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. That spirit of adventure has remained part of the house's identity, which aged the 1988 harvest at Nogaro. The nose opens on candied fruit, sandalwood and prunes. 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.
