Francis Darroze 1964 Chateau de Gaube 54yr Bas - Armagnac 750ml

This Darroze bottling is devastatingly good, what old traditional Armagnac was meant to taste like. Unabashedly manly and earthy, with floral notes like a boutonni?re on a lapel and aromas of swirling cigar smoke. In the mouth, it's surprisingly fresh and fruity, balanced by dark coffee and fresh tobacco. Serious rancio on the midpalate, that continues on and on and on. Seamless and classic. 100% Baco grapes

Light chestnut colour with golden tints. The nose is still very expressive, almost pungent. Oaky and fruity flavours prevail. On the palate, the tannins are of exceptional quality and confer great finesse on this armagnac from a superb terroir. 100% baco.

The age of reason. According to the freshness and the balance of Armagnacs of this age, it is sometimes time, at the end of 50 years to stop the barrel ageing. However, the use of barrels that have been exhausted of their tannins over many years in contact with the eau de vie is still possible. The aromas of chocolate, leather and roasted notes are characteristic of these very old eaux de vie.
