Dartigalongue – XO – Bas-Armagnac 

The nose is fine, fruity and offers delicacy as well as a fine richness. It reveals notes of caramelized orange, crystallized lemon and kumquat associated with small hints of apricot, crushed Brugnon and touches of caramelization, citron and a discreet hint of dried flowers / dried zest. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, racy, well-built and offers a fine juicy frame, a fine minerality, fat as well as suavity. On the palate, this Armagnac expresses notes of peach in syrup, pear in syrup, stewed apple and marmalade combined with hints of crystallized clementine, crème brulée / caramel, tonka bean, grilled oak / coffee and a discreet hint of spices on the finish. Good length. Beautiful grain on the finish.
