Dartigalongue Bas-Armagnac Hors d'Age
Deep amber color, scents of baked apple, butter and black oak. The mouth is vibrant and generous, featuring again the baked apples, the oak and then some toffee and vanilla with some hints of tobacco toward the end. The finish is long, fat and silky. Aged a minimum of 15 years. 40% ABV
"Vanilla sweetness blends with ginger, cayenne, cinnamon and cardamom, perked up by a dried apricot mid-palate. The long finish similarly leads from spiced to sweet, finishing with a crème caramel exhale." -94pts, Wine Enthusiast, 2021
"Cocoa brown color; flawless purity.... A session Bas-Armagnac that's refined, mature, and ambrosial. Absolutely must be on your brandy wish list." -5 Stars/Highest Recommendation, Spirit Journal, 2018
"This beautiful, mahogany colored brandy has brilliant aromas of stewed plum, fresh apricot, dried wildflower, and a tiny hint of sweet ginger. The palate has charming rusticity with fierce but elegant tannin and a long contemplative finish." -91pts/Excellent/Highly Recommended, Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2018
