DELORD ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1996
- Ageing eau-de-vie from the 1996 harvest, bottled after several decades of ageing in the cellar
- Cask aged in Gascon oak casks at the Armagnac Delord cellars in Lannepax
The 1996 vintage from Armagnac Delord is a single-harvest eau-de-vie, distilled and then aged at length in Gascon oak casks within the family cellars at Lannepax, in the Gers. The nose reveals poached pear, honey, a hint of clove, cooked fruits (quince, fig) and marzipan. The palate is supple and well-balanced, with notes of caramel sweetness, baked apple, tender wood and barrel tannins. It lingers into a finish marked by exotic fruits, followed by a touch of citrus. Bottled at 40% vol. in a 70 cl bottle, this vintage Armagnac is equally suited to leisurely tasting or as an exceptional gift.
