Hontambère 1989

Another stunning cask from the stock of Pierre Laporte, the late, legendary owner of the now-defunct Domaine Pouchegu. This is a collaboration pick from independent European bottlers Grape of the Art and Swell de Spirits...

Appellation: Armagnac Ténarèze
Grape: 100% Ugni Blanc
Cellar Type: Humid
Alcohol: 55.9% 
Aged: 33 years in cask #A5 until bottling July 2023

Tasting notes from Grape of the Art:

"On the nose, dark cherries, molasses and tropical fruits, then flowers, fine wood and a hint of smoke, giving the bouquet a fascinating kick!
On the palate: The initial start is super rich, sweet and packed with
tropical fruits and raisins. The texture is very oily and
comes with a heavy body, resulting in a never-ending finish."
