Clos Martin Folle Blanche Armagnac 1989

An intense vintage Bas Armagnac from Clos Martin, distilled from Folle Blanche. It has an aromatic birth with notes of stewed fruits; while a rich & fruity life adds notes of grape & plum; that led to an oaky death of medium length with a touch of earth. August 2017 / June 2018

I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan of Armagnac. I've had a few old ones and they have been quite overoaked. Soo I moved up a decade or so and what's the verdict? The oakiness dissipates some what and a deep rich cognac like flavour. It's sort of prune, porty type flavour. It definitely grew on me but I don't think it's one I'd drink to much of.
