Here’s What You Just Tasted

Glass No. 1
Domaine: Domaine Pouy (Ténarèze)
Vintage: 1998
An amber, floral Armagnac with real backbone yet remarkable freshness: white chocolate, violet and citrus zest on the nose, then liquorice and plum jam on the palate, closing on a soft, gentle finish.

Glass No. 2
Domaine: Domaine du Pin (Bas-Armagnac)
Vintage: 2006
A light mahogany, gourmand Armagnac of caramel, prunes and spice on the nose, an unctuous palate of peach tart and toasted almonds, closing long and smooth.
