1962 Domaine Laberdolive Bas Armagnac, 2.5L

First sniffs reveal deep-seated aromas that are dry, moderately candied and oaky on the surface; with swirling, the bouquet exposes dry aromas of orange pekoe tea, cedar, black pepper and old oak. Semisweet to sweet entry tastes of dark caramel, nougat and bittersweet chocolate; flavors of marshmallow, candied almonds, dried apricot and honey get added to the mix at midpalate. Huge depth and multiple layers in the taste and finish phases. A brandy beast to stalk your cellar. The wine Enthusiast.
