Tasting Notes
"The fruity aromas are minimal as the focus is a bit more musky and spicy, but what fruits are there are more in the prune family. A bit sweet as you taste, those flavors quickly veer to bittersweet and finishes slightly nutty and tart. The dried fruits come through a bit more than on the nose, but don't get into those fruit punch flavors some very young cognacs have. A bit lean, but would be a good introduction to armagnac for those making the leap from cognac as the tannins are low and the barrel spices are integrated well with the brandy."
