Chateau Tariquet 100% Folle Blanche - Bas Armagnac - 8 years, 45%

A brandy aged for eight years in casks.
-Tasting commentary by cellarman Francis Miquel:
A golden yellow colour. The nose is very supple and subtle, expressing wood, vanilla and cocoa butter. A marked woody flavour, but noble and tempered by the original fruity character. The first sensation in the mouth is magnificently smooth, broad, spirited but never aggressive.

The delicate finale emphasises the recent marriage of the fruit and the woody structure. A remarkably lingering Armagnac, eloquent proof that a eight year old brandy can already be very good.

Chateau Tariquet 100% Folle Blanche - Bas Armagnac - 15 years, 45%

A brandy aged for fifteen years in casks.
-Tasting commentary by cellarman Francis Miquel:
A magnificent golden brown colour. The nose breathes its finesse, whispers its femininity, accentuates its elegance and reveals an unusual expression of the grape.

In the mouth it is smooth and mellow. What elegance! The "rancio" taste is revealed with a rare intensity, the perfect expression of this variety. The aromas of crystallised stone-fruits and liquorice are the sign of a great Armagnac of which Gascony can be proud.

1990 Chateau Tariquet Bas Armagnac 100% Folle Blanche 47.5%

Mellow shades of subtle oak, dried fruit and fresh vanilla at mid-palate, leading to cocoa notes that linger at the bottom of the glass.
