Tasting Notes
Appearance
This distinguished Bas-Armagnac presents a rich amber colour with warm golden highlights and brilliant clarity, displaying the exceptional quality characteristic of over thirty-five years 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 very aromatic and deeply rewarding, with hints of dried fruit — almond and hazelnut — alongside vanilla, cinnamon and oak creating a sophisticated and richly layered aromatic profile. The bouquet reflects more than three decades 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 tannins and aromas of dried fruits and vanilla pleasantly line the palate in exceptional balance. The finish is long with evolved wood notes — complex, warming and deeply satisfying. The hallmark Delord style — very rounded, soft and easy to drink — is evident throughout, with the 1990 vintage showcasing the extraordinary depth and refinement that only decades of careful oak maturation can achieve.
Pairs With
This exceptional Bas-Armagnac is a natural companion to dark chocolate, almond tart, hazelnut praline, dried figs, aged cheeses, or enjoyed as a contemplative digestif after a special meal, making it the ultimate gift for those born in 1990 and a treasured addition to any serious spirits collection.
