Notes
About A Summer walk: This single cask Armagnac was crafted from the Baco grape variety (a Folle Blanche/Noah grape hybrid used throughout the region to combat phylloxera around the turn of the 20th century) and navigates aromas and flavours of cherry, strawberry, raspberry and chocolate rather effortlessly. Floral and herbal accents only deepen the profile, creating an exceptional spirit to explore. Any bottleof Armagnac from this impossibly small estate is already rare. A single varietal single cask is an exceptionally unique opportunity to savour.
Tasting Panel Note: A potpourri of aromas greeted the Panel – cherry chocolate fondant, powder puffs, cinnamon, white pepper, ginger, mace and resinous wood. On the palate that variety carried on seamlessly, with elegant flavours from pure pressed white grape juice, honeydew melon and dried rose petals to an aromatic and lightly spiced Italian liqueur, blending bergamot peel, chamomile, lavender, gentian and lemon balm. Water added a fruity sweetness in the form of strawberry bonbons, raspberry ripple and a battenberg cake made with apricot jam. The taste was now that of the French classic dessert clafoutis; cherries baked in a sweet, custard-like batter and served with vanilla ice cream.
