ARMAGNAC DE MONTAL |
| Medium golden orange amber colour. Intense, fairly spicy, slightly honeyed, ripe plum puree nose with lots of vanilla notes. Fairly dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, ripe, plum-caramel flavours with a lingering, bright, harmonious, very faintly peppery, lingering , autumnal finish. This 100% Bas-Armagnac has 40% alcohol with lot number L11A16291DM on the back label. Last appeared in Vintages (***) with 90-points on April 18, 2015 at $89.95 and was an Explorer Selection. |

| TASTING NOTE: Unlike Cognac, which is distilled twice to yield an arguably smoother and more polished spirit, Armagnac is distilled once, leaving behind more traces of flavour and a relatively robust profile. Long aging in wood softens the texture and can yield a rich, marvelously complex spirit. I love old Armagnac, and this one is superbly balanced, with nuances of pear and prune caressed by leather, vanilla and caramelized sugar. Savour it slowly on a cool autumn evening.
