Delord – X.O. Premium – Bas-Armagnac 

The nose is fruity, elegant and offers delicacy, complexity as well as a beautiful balance between finesse / richness / power. It reveals notes of candied citrus (lemon…) and Zante currant associated with touches of pear, gray pepper, a small touch of orange as well as a hint of white flowers, mint, chocolate and an imperceptible touch of vanilla. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, well-structured and offers a good definition, finesse, a fine acidulous frame, a fine straightness, precision, a very fine freshness as well as a beautiful finesse of the grain. On the palate this Armagnac expresses notes of marmalade / candied citrus, crushed mirabelle plum and small notes of pâtisseries, caramelization associated with fine touches of caramel pear as well as discreet hints of white flowers (in the background), chocolate and hints of cigar. Good length. There is an imperceptible hint of cocoa / roasting on the aftertaste.
