A Tear of Armagnac from the prestigious Maison Darroze embodies the excellence and artistry of Armagnac at its peak. This masterpiece is a sumptuous union of carefully selected eaux-de-vie, the youngest of which has aged for at least 50 years in oak barrels. Elevated to the status of a global icon, this spirit has been crowned the third-best spirit in the world by the Spirit Journal. Its bottle, designed by Basque designer Blandine Dubos, is an elegant teardrop-shaped carafe mouth-blown by artisan Mr. Vieira, resting on an oak stave that once held the Armagnac. This marriage of design and tradition enhances a rare tasting experience, dedicated to enlightened enthusiasts and demanding professionals.
TASTING NOTES:
NOSE: An explosion of rich and complex aromas. Raisins intertwine with deep notes of sun-dried tomatoes, cloves, and bitter cocoa. The bouquet also reveals a subtle hint of polished leather and candied fruits, offering a distinguished and refined elegance.
PALATE: The attack is both soft and powerful, with a magnificent structure balanced between sweetness and acidity. Flavors of dark chocolate with hazelnuts are supported by a depth reminiscent of gingerbread and toffee. Notes of macerated fruits and sweet spices gradually evolve into slightly woody accents, evoking the decades of aging in oak barrels.
FINISH: Exceptionally long, with a bittersweet profile. A final note subtly balancing sour-sweet tones, reminiscent of the richness of chocolate and the liveliness of an acidic fruit. The finish leaves a lasting impression of woody nobility and aromatic complexity, perfect for long sensory meditations.
