1986 Armagnac, J. Nismes-Delclou (40%)

This 1986 Armagnac’s pale colour belies a complex nose that is, nonetheless, smooth in the mouth, culminating in a light and pleasant end. 

Established in 1832 by Baron Hausmann, J. Nismes-Delclou is Armagnac’s oldest producer. The distillery boasts an exceptional collection of vintage Armagnacs stretching back to 1881. It sources the finest wine from Bas Armagnac, before distilling and ageing the resulting spirits in cask in its 100-year-old cellars. With time, these Armagnacs develop an incredible velveteen texture, as well as complex and seductive aromatics reminiscent of florals, sweet spice, caramel and dried stone-fruit.
