Castarede Armagnac XO Carafe 20yrs
DOMAINE TARIQUET BAS ARMAGNAC FOLLE BLANCHE 12 YEARS
Twelve years of aging signify the first maturity of the Folle Blanche. Served at room temperature with a fruity dessert, meringue pastry, or eaten alone: the taste experience of elegance. Tasting Notes: Deep golden colour and a fresh nose of fruit (orange, lemon, wild apple) and flowers. A silky texture gently intensifying the freshness of the attack towards a long palate evoking candied pineapple, nutmeg, white pepper and zest. Wood and fruit melted in balance. The finish is tinged with liquorice coated with these deep flavours close to nuts and typical of the aging of the great Bas-Armagnacs, called "rancio".

The palate is suave, powerful, thick with a feeling of opulence, bringing in the finish more orange freshness.
