Domaine de Pouteou 2000 Armagnac Darroze (70cl, 50%)

This armagnac comes from the 2000 vintage, produced by the Tarbe family in Bas-Armagnac, France, and bottled by Darroze. It matured naturally without additives and was bottled at cask strength at 50% ABV. Domaine de Pouteou is a family estate established over five generations in the heart of Gascony, cultivating its vineyards, distilling its wines and ageing its armagnacs in its own cellars, mainly from Folle Blanche and Baco grapes. The nose shows complex aromas of dried fruits and spices with a hint of oak. The palate is full-bodied with a balanced blend of sweet and spicy notes. The finish is long and warm, with a pleasant aftertaste of oak and spices.
