Delord Vieil Armagnac 2008 is a distinguished Bas-Armagnac of genuine refinement — produced at the Delord family distillery in Lannepax using Colombard, Ugni Blanc, and Folle Blanche, and aged in one of more than 700 oak barrels in Delord’s celebrated cellars. Clear amber with beautiful gold reflections; a nose of vanilla, oakwood, marzipan, and dried fruits; rich, smooth, and beautifully balanced on the palate — rounded, soft, and elegantly easy to drink, with a long, warming finish that speaks eloquently of careful oak maturation. The perfect 2008 birth year gift and a treasured addition to any serious spirits collection. Images for illustrative purposes.
