Dartigalongue 2002 – Bas-Armagnac

The nose is elegant, fine, racy, complex and offers power, a beautiful finesse of the grain as well as intensity. It reveals notes of dry vine peach, quenette, exotic fruits, citrus (mandarine, lemon), small notes of mandarine flowers associated with fine touches of elderflower, spices, grey pepper, an imperceptible hint of dry oak, nougatine/patisseries and grilled. The palate is elegant, beautifully delicate, racy, suave and offers a fine freshness, a fine mineral frame, power (full of control) and richness. On the palate this Armagnac expresses notes of lychee, fleshy nectarine, small notes of small crushed/pulpy white fruits associated with small touches of crushed apple as well as small touches of exotic fruits as well as subtle hints of apple flowers, mandarine flowers as well as very discreet hints of vanilla flowers, nougatine and an imperceptible hint of elderflowers (in the background). Good length. A fine power on the finish/persistence.
