30-Year-Old Armagnac: the 1996 vintage according to CAP Vintage

1996, a pivotal year for Armagnac

The 1996 vintage was characterized by a hot, dry summer in the Gers, yielding grapes of beautiful ripeness. Thirty years later, the Armagnacs from this harvest reveal remarkable complexity: notes of candied prunes, vanilla, leather, and sweet spices, with a long, silky finish characteristic of aging in Gascon oak barrels.
