DELORD ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1998
- Ageing eau-de-vie from the 1998 harvest, bottled after several decades of ageing in the cellars
- Cask aged in Gascon oak casks at the Armagnac Delord cellars in Lannepax
The 1998 vintage from Armagnac Delord is a single-harvest eau-de-vie, distilled and then aged for many years in Gascon oak casks in the family cellars at Lannepax, in the Gers. The nose reveals caramelised and lightly woody aromas, clove, verbena, prune, date, and a hint of fig. The palate is rounded and charming, rustic in the best sense of the word, leading into a long, spiced, and lightly smoky finish. Bottled at 40% vol. in a 70 cl bottle, this vintage Armagnac is equally suited to leisurely sipping or to gifting on a special occasion.
