Tasting Notes
Appearance
This distinguished Bas-Armagnac presents a beautiful golden copper colour with brilliant clarity and warm, luminous depth, displaying the exceptional quality characteristic of four decades of patient ageing in oak barrels at the Delord family distillery in Lannepax, the ancestral home of one of Armagnac’s most celebrated and visionary producers.
Aroma
The nose is elegant and inviting, with orange peel, candied fruit and nougat creating a sophisticated and beautifully layered aromatic profile. The bouquet reflects forty years of ageing in Delord’s treasured oak barrels, with each element in perfect harmony — a testament to the extraordinary patience and expertise of the Delord family and their prized Sier Armagnac alambics that produce less than 30 litres of eau-de-vie per hour.
Palate
Soft and round on the palate with a medium-bodied profile, the 1984 vintage delivers nuances of light toffee, dried fruits and white pepper in exceptional balance. The hallmark Delord style — very rounded, soft and approachable — is evident throughout, with a long, warming finish that speaks eloquently of four decades of careful oak maturation. An outstanding Armagnac of genuine distinction and refinement.
Pairs With
This exceptional Bas-Armagnac is a natural companion to dark chocolate, crème brûlée, candied orange peel, dried figs, nougat, or enjoyed as a contemplative digestif after a special meal, making it the ultimate gift for those born in 1984 and a treasured addition to any serious spirits collection.
