From Bas Armagnac, this in a blend of Armagnac up to 20 years old matured in French oak. Orangey amber in colour, it has a bouquet of fresh yellow plum and vanilla with hints of orange peel. On the palate, it’s plummy and rounded with spiced, woody notes. Quite mellow, with medium body and intensity, it’s a pleasantly robust go-to Armagnac for all occasions.
