Appearance

Deep amber with glimmers of mahogany, showing clarity and depth that reflects its century of aging.

Nose

The aroma is complex, offering a bouquet of dried fruits, including fig and plum, accented by subtle notes of leather, tobacco, and a hint of spice from extended oak aging. The rancio—a hallmark of well-aged Armagnac—adds a nutty, oxidative layer that enhances its depth.

Palate

Rich and full-bodied on the palate, with flavours of dried apricot, prune, and a touch of cedar. The texture is velvety, leading into a lengthy, balanced finish with warm, earthy notes and a refined, soft acidity that underscores its exceptional aging.
