Castarede Armagnac 1960
Tasting Notes
This Bas Armagnac comes from a blend of two cepages, the Ugni Blanc and Baco. Its fawn coloured robe with some red copper gives some rancio flavours reflecting its long stay in barrels in a bouquet of wooden touches (santal wood, vanilla, grilled touches) spicy and fruity (banana). The mouth is soft and mellow but this eau de vie has kept the nervosity of the baco cepage. It is perfect with a maroon cake with an arabica sauce! The richness of maroon and the creamy touch of the dessert is tempered by the freshness of the ice cream. The coffee sauce is an echo to the grilled touches.
