Tasting Notes

Nose

The Armagnac influence comes through pretty clearly on the nose, with a prevalent japanese plum aroma undergirded with a hint of eucalyptus, followed by subtle traces of stewed pear, clove, and a floral note I couldn’t quite place. A short time in the glass gave way to prominent notes of dried fig and raw almond. After about an hour everything coalesced into an appealing bouquet of apple pie.

Palate

The armagnac influence really dominates up front here as well, creating a grape-forward, rounded mouthfeel that is back-loaded with vanilla and baking spices. The finish, though disappointingly brief, leaves a semi-sweet chocolate impression with some leather and just the faintest hint of caramelized banana.
