Domaine d’Ognoas 2004 – Bas-Armagnac

The nose is elegant, well-built and offers a small incisive side as well as elegance. It reveals notes of dry lemon zests, crystallized mandarine, small crushed brugnon associated with fine hints of lychee, rose as well as a subtle hint of mandarine flowers, incense and an imperceptible hint of rancio. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a juicy/finely acidulous frame, gourmandize as well as a fine tension, a small suavity, juiciness, a good definition and a small aerial side. On the palate this Armagnac expresses notes of lychee, kumquat, small notes of dry lemon associated with small touches of zests, dry mandarine zests as well as subtle hints of mandarine flowers, almond, nutmeg, toasted oak as well as a very discreet hint of toasted hazelnut and grey pepper.
