X-FACTOR
The judges loved the bold flavors and the concentration of fruit — a class Armagnac.
TASTING NOTE
Bright, medium copper/bronze color. The aromatics are very intense, offering scents of apricot, pear, and marzipan with supporting notes of baked apple, baking spices, nutmeg, and leather. The palate confirms the nose delivering a dried fruits-driven core with supporting flavors of brown sugar, quince, and roasted nuts. The finish is long and lingering. Full-bodied and favorably balanced with a voluptuous texture.
