Jean Cavé – XO – Armagnac 

The nose is aromatic and offers power as well as a beautiful grain. It reveals notes of orange zest, sandalwood, dried rose / dried lemon and small notes of gray pepper associated with touches of caramelization and violet. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a good definition, roundness, a fine freshness, power as well as finesse. On the palate this Armagnac expresses notes of marmalade, dried orange zest and small notes of dried mirabelle plum associated with small touches of pâtisseries, caramelization and a very discreet hint of toffee (in the background). The finish is quite gourmande. Good length.
