Detailed Description
Another vintage of the Dartigalongue 1985 harvest lands, this time aged for close to more than threedecades! Dartigalongue, in the Western part of Bas Armagnac, lays claim to being the oldest house in the appellation. The family began to distill in 1813. Their vineyards reside on soils that are more sandy than those in the East of Bas Armaganc. These sandy soils tend to produce grapes with higher acidity, which results in very round spirits with plenty of finesse. The house also employs mostly Gascogne oak (90%) which gives the eau de vie more spice than those aged in majority Limousin oak. It remains a family run operation with production around 60,000 bottles per year.
Dartigalongue 33 year old Vintage 1985 Armagnac Tasting Note
Nose: This 30 year old holds flavors of dried fruit, herbs, oak spice and earthy grape on the nose.
Palate: The taste releases more oak tannins while fruit leads the way.
Finish: The finish is long with oak, leather, and fruit mingling perfectly.
