1972 Armagnac: born in the year of Munich and Watergate
1972 - the Munich Olympic Games are marred by the attack on the Israeli delegation, the Watergate scandal splashes Nixon, and the last American soldiers leave Vietnam. The world is in flux. In Gascony, the vines produce a vintage of finesse and discretion, far from the global turmoil. After 54 years of aging in Gascon oak barrels, 1972 Armagnacs have developed an aromatic profile full of nuance: hazelnut, beeswax, old wood, soft vanilla, and an emerging rancio. A vintage of discreet elegance.
