Tasting Notes
"There's a pleasing mix of dried fruit and spice found on the nose with just a hint of mustiness. On the palate, the Armagnac is soft and has just enough sweetness to make it balanced. The finish is warming and slightly slick with dark berries and a hint of anise; a fine sipping Armagnac."
