DELORD ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1989
- Ageing Eau-de-vie from the 1989 harvest alone, aged in oak casks
- Cask Oak casks, in the house cellars at Lannepax (Gers)
On 9 November 1989, the Berlin Wall came down. The Gascon harvest of that year was distilled at Lannepax, in the depths of winter as is the custom at Delord, then left to age undisturbed. The house tasting notes describe a deep amber colour with golden highlights, a highly aromatic nose of dried fruits (almond, hazelnut), vanilla, cinnamon and oak, supple tannins and a long finish on evolved wood. Thirty-seven years old, 40% vol., basquaise bottle of 70 cl, presented in a wooden case.
