Tasting Notes
Appearance
This distinguished Bas-Armagnac presents a rich amber colour with glistening gold highlights and brilliant depth, displaying the exceptional quality characteristic of 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 complex and deeply rewarding, with vanilla, oakwood, marzipan and dried fruits creating a sophisticated and layered aromatic profile. The bouquet reflects over half a century 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.
Palate
The palate is equally delightful and richly complex, with cinnamon, marzipan and toasted bread weaving together in exceptional balance. Rounded, soft and beautifully easy to drink, the 1965 vintage showcases the hallmark Delord style — very rounded, soft and approachable — with a long, warming finish that speaks eloquently of six decades of careful oak maturation. An outstanding Armagnac of rare distinction.
Pairs With
This exceptional Bas-Armagnac is a natural companion to dark chocolate, crème brûlée, aged blue cheese, dried figs, walnut tart, or enjoyed as a contemplative digestif after a special meal, making it the ultimate gift for those born in 1965 and a treasured addition to any serious spirits collection.
