A magnificent Bas-Armagnac from Château du Tariquet. Produced from a blend of 60% Ugni blanc and 40% Baco grapes, this Hors D'Age expression is aged for an average of 15 years to achieve a splendid balance of honeyed fruit and woody rancio. With a handsome wooden case, made by local craftspeople using pine from the Landes de Gascogne forest – this ought to make an impressive gift for an Armagnac fan.
Dense dried fruits and floral honey with hints of toasted coconut and a touch of vanilla. Roasted nuts, baking spice, and grilled stone fruits follow, with leathery oak building on the finish.
