Tasting Notes
Appearance
This distinguished Bas-Armagnac presents a clear amber colour with beautiful gold reflections and refined clarity, displaying the exceptional quality characteristic of five 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 enticing and deeply complex, with vanilla, oakwood, marzipan and dried fruits creating a sophisticated and layered aromatic profile. The bouquet reflects fifty 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.
Palate
The palate is rich, smooth and beautifully balanced, with hints of cinnamon, marzipan and toasted bread weaving together in exceptional harmony. Rounded, soft and elegantly easy to drink, the 1975 vintage showcases the hallmark Delord style — very rounded, soft and approachable — with a long, warming finish that speaks eloquently of five decades of careful oak maturation. An outstanding Armagnac of rare distinction and refinement.
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 1975 and a treasured addition to any serious spirits collection.
