This Bas-Armagnac vintage 1989 from the family house Dartigalongue, bottled at 42% vol. in a 70 cl decanter, opens on a nose of woody and spiced aromas, with candied orange.

This vintage has also been recognised with awards: gold medal "Outstanding" at the International Wine and Spirit Competition (London) 2015, silver medal at the International Spirit Competition (London) 2015.
