Armagnac Delord 1979

Armagnac Delord Millésime 1979 is a rare Bas-Armagnac cuvée, reflecting a craft handed down over four generations. It was distilled in a traditional continuous still and aged in oak casks from the Gers. Slow natural oxidation has brought complex, fine aromas. The nose shows dried fruit, beeswax, polished wood, candied orange and prune. The palate is ample and silky, with roasted yellow fruit, melted caramel, light oak, vanilla and gentle spice, supported by a noble bitter note. The finish is long and settled, with old wood, dried fruit and a hint of blond tobacco. It is suited to after-dinner tasting on its own at room temperature.
