| BAS ARMAGNAC 1978 Bottled in 2014, AC |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
DELORD |
Bright light golden amber colour. Spicy, ripe plum, honeyed, caramel, buttery, walnut bread nose. Fairly intense, medium bodied, slightly spicy, ripe plum-caramel flavours with a lingering, bright, gently cedary finish. A very fine Bas Armagnac that was aged for 36 years in oak. Perhaps a tad pricey, unless you happen to be born in 1978. Dollar for dollar, I preferred De Montal XO Bas Armagnac (***) which appeared (and is still available) in Vintages on January 18, 2014 (#354027) at only $88.95
