Castarède 1986

The oldest Armagnac house in existence, they have a collection of old vintages dating back to the 1890s. A rare cask-strength selection from them, most bottlings at the domaine are proofed down to 40%.

Tasting notes: 

The bouquet is incredibly elegant and fruity, with overripe raspberries, blackberries and tropical fruits such as mangoes and passion fruit, which are given a warm touch by a hint of flowers. 

On the palate, creaminess, oily texture and sweetness that you would only expect from a vanilla ice cream with raspberry sorbet. Totally balanced and elegant, this Armagnac is proof that the Ténarèze region offers not only robustness and edge but also incredible elegance and finesse!
