Darroze 1981 Bellair GBA 49% 700ml terre-forti The oak is background cedar

The oak is background cedar which will recede further as the fruits emerge with some bottle age

I would like to see sweeter tannin and more flesh built into the mid-palate

lifted and pretty

flow through the palate and linger well after the wine is gone

Very intense dark cherry delivered in a ‘fruit bomb’ of rich textures and flavours

Darroze 1981 Bellair GBA 49% 700ml terre-forti The oak is background cedarBeautiful amber color, golden tints. The nose is marked by aromas of nuts, almonds, toast, mocha, gingerbread, tobacco. Still very fresh despite these marked aromas of ageing. On the palate, candied fruit still accompanies this strong character of a 40 year old Armagnac. Long in the palate.
