| Château de Laubade is the largest producer in the Bas Armagnac sub-region. As such, it has become the benchmark estate for the regional style. Tasting note: Gentle but firm scents of black pepper, lychee nut, smoke and burnt toast; the smokiness accelerates into tobacco leaf and charred oak aromas, buttressed by an underlying bacon fat-old oak smell. Concentrated flavors of almond butter and nougat make for lip-smacking tasting. Aftertaste is brief, semisweet, tart and a touch smoky. Best Buy. Score – 90-95. (F.
