Dartigalongue Carafe Diva XO
- Ageing Blend aged a minimum of 12 years
Diva is the largest of Dartigalongue's decanters: 70 cl, hand-filled and hand-dressed, then nestled in a wooden box. It holds the house's XO blend, aged at least twelve years, which Dartigalongue presents as the signature of its style. On the nose and on the palate, expect candied fruits, pineapple and orange, toasted oak, spices and sandalwood, with impressive depth and not a hint of harshness. A birthday or retirement gift that deserves a place of honour on the shelf.
