TASTING NOTES DARROZE GRANDS ASSEMBLAGES 12 YO

Nose

Equipped with a good intensity. It releases fresh notes of apple, raisins, cooked peach and sweet spices, followed by caramel. It looks a bit more focused than the 8YO version and although it matured longer, it somehow feels fresher.

Palate

Good start. It develops notes of raisins, cooked apple and dried mango, along with a touch of vanilla, wood spices and varnishes.

The final

Medium-long persistence. Very dry. Raisins, sawdust and tannins.

Overall, the Darroze Grands Assemblages 12YO is a good Armagnac, although it doesn't offer a great leap in quality over the 8YO, as both are good in their own way. However, the 8yo ( click here for the tasting notes ) has a higher final grade.
