DELORD ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1988
- Ageing Eau-de-vie from the sole 1988 harvest, aged in oak casks
- Cask Oak casks, in the house cellars at Lannepax (Gers)
For 1988, the house tasting notes describe a powerful eau-de-vie: a rich nose of toasted and roasted aromas with candied fruit, then a palate dominated by cocoa and roast, closing on a fine rancio of prune, spices and roasted coffee. A profile to save for the end of a winter dinner. The eau-de-vie comes from the sole 1988 harvest, distilled and aged at Lannepax by Jacques and Pierre Delord. Thirty-eight years on, it is offered at 40% vol. in a 70 cl basquaise bottle, with a wooden gift box.
