On the palate the sip is enveloping and warm but well balanced, with polished tannins and a persistence that returns to the fruity and spicy notes. Presented in a wooden case, it is intended both as a collector's item and for a meditative after-dinner moment; it is best enjoyed in a large glass, in small sips, and pairs excellently with dark chocolate or aged cheeses. An Armagnac with character, suited to those seeking depth and finesse without frills.
