Nose: A fruity nose, with notes of apricot and mirabelle. Lingering spice rounds it off.
Palate: Complex and smooth. Dried fruits burst to the fore, tempered with some vanilla.
Finish: Spicy with a pinching zesty quality.
Overall: An effort deliberate in its appreciation of the seven mystical Armagnac notes of nut, peach, violet, lime, vanilla, plum and pepper. Looks as good as it tastes, the pellucid amber shimmers with coppery reflections.
