1973 Armagnac: born in the year of the oil crisis and "Tie a Yellow Ribbon"

1973 - the first oil crisis hits the world head-on, the United States signs the Vietnam peace accords, and Pinochet seizes power in Chile through a bloody coup d'etat. In sports, Poulidor continues his legend at the Tour de France and a young Niki Lauda makes his Formula 1 debut. On the airwaves, "Tie a Yellow Ribbon" by Dawn establishes itself as the worldwide hit of the year. In Gascony, despite the difficult context, the vines produce a robust and persistent vintage. After 53 years of aging in Gascon oak barrels, 1973 Armagnacs offer intense and assertive aromas: prunes, licorice, roasted coffee, deep rancio, and powerful spices. A vintage of great stature.
