Domaine de Lamarquette 1988 Armagnac Darroze (70cl, 50%)

This is a 38-year-old Bas-Armagnac from the Domaine de Lamarquette, bottled by Darroze for the Unique Collection. It was distilled in 1988 from a single domaine and matured for 38 years in French oak casks of 420 litres. It was bottled in April 2026 as a Brut de fût at 50% ABV, without chill filtration or colouring, and comes in a gift box. The nose shows ripe apricot and quince with fine citrus notes, cinnamon and vanilla, plus a light liquorice nuance. On the palate there are clear oak and wood notes beside soft vanilla sweetness, with dense fruit, a full body and balanced character. The finish is long, with fruity notes and fine spice in balanced combination.
