Domaine de Martin 1998 Armagnac Darroze (70cl, 48.5%)

An Armagnac from the 1998 vintage, bottled in 2025 after 27 years in regional oak casks. It was neither coloured nor chill-filtered and was bottled at cask strength at 48.5%. Darroze is a family company specialising in Armagnac, bottling single-domaine Armagnacs under Marc Darroze. The nose brings intense aromas of ripe quince, dried figs and orange marmalade, with spicy notes of vanilla and cinnamon and a hint of verbena. On the palate the fruity aromas continue, supported by velvety tannins. The finish is long and harmonious, balancing fruit and spice.
