Marquis de Montesquiou – Réserve – Armagnac

The nose is fruity, powerful, quite intense, quite gourmand and offers intensity. It reveals notes of lemon zests and candied mandarin associated with small touches of white peach/white fruits, dried orange as well as hints of flowers, subtle woody hints/rancio and caramelization. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, suave, gourmand, straight and offers a nice structure, a slight minerality (in the background) as well as precision. In the mouth this Armagnac expresses notes of candied mandarin and slight touches of candied lemon, lemon zests associated with touches of compoted white fruits, caramel as well as a discreet hint of rancio and an imperceptible hint of chocolate. Good length.
