40-Year-Old Armagnac: the 1986 vintage according to CAP Vintage

1986, a vintage with character

The 1986 vintage in the Gers region benefited from a balanced year, with beautiful quality harvests. Forty years of aging in oak barrels have produced brandies of great complexity: notes of blond tobacco, dried fig, dark chocolate, and old leather, with remarkable roundness and length on the palate.
