Château Garreau  1996  – Bas-Armagnac

The nose is fruity and offers richness as well as a certain power. It reveals slight notes of exotic fruits, compoted pear and slight notes of flowers associated with a discreet hint of caramelization, a woody hint as well as slight touches of ripe apple and a discreet/imperceptible hint of lemon zests. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers fat, a slight richness, roundness, a slight freshness as well as power. In the mouth this Armagnac expresses notes of compoted pear, compoted peach and slight hints of honey associated with a hint of nutmeg, hazelnut as well as discreet hints of toasted oak and a subtle hint of vanilla. Good length.
