Visual aspect: gleaming and dense, with a caramel-amber hue. Nose: roasted, toasted scents and aromas of almonds and pineapple. Palate: delicate and elegant with flavours of pineapple and pepper, with a roasted, confit, smoky touch. Very long flavours. Match with food: quince compote, Black Forest gateau, chocolate dessert. Comments: an Armagnac smoothed by many years of ageing.
