The nose will convince you that this is a very floral drink. It smells vaguely like oranges, or green grapes (Think himrod), with a very slight ashy-caramel influence from the oak. The palate is, in some ways, a direct 180 - dusty dryness that makes you think of a basement of an old wooden house, caramel, vanilla, very slight hazelnut, musty-yeastiness, with a little burn on the midpalate. You have to search for the grape - this is a wood-forward, bourbon like drink all the way through. If you want a more fruit-forward Armagnac, you are best with younger (XO aged) Pellehaut, Grangerie or even a Marcel Trépout.
