Marquis de Montesquiou – Extra Old – Armagnac

The nose is fruity, very powerful and offers a certain finesse as well as intensity. It reveals notes of dried orange zests, crystallized clementine and slight notes of Zante currant associated with a hint of dried lemon as well as a subtle hint of white fruits and rancio (in the background). The palate is fruity, well-built, well-balanced, straight and offers a nice guideline, gourmandise, a very slight unctuosity, precision as well as a slight elegance. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of candied clementine and dried orange zests associated with small notes of crystallized lemon, Zante currant as well as a very subtle hint of dried fig, a hint of caramel, a woody hint and spices on the finish. There is a subtle hint of vanilla on the persistence.
