Armagnac

[Fuzhou]

That’s probably as good as it gets. I Don’t think that they are coming out with any new 1980 bottles. Enjoy, my ‘brother’

[Fuzhou]

Domaine Le Sable a Lagrange 1974

Bas Armagnac

42 years old

Rich and complex. Dry fruits. Oaky and cinnamon. 40.1% abv.

Finished rather short.

[Fuzhou]

Domaine D’Aurensan 20 Ans

Dark amber hue. Fragrant nose. Dark fruits. Creamy mouth feel. Medium finish.

42.5% abv. With nothing added. Not even water.

This is an artisan distillery committed to purity. The 20 year old is actually comprised of four barrels of 1973, 1978, 1981, and 1990 being the youngest thus lending to the age statement.

Sounds good Fuzhou, did not know this armagnac house. Ever tried any of their other blends or vintages?

No I have not EelcoA. This bottle is quite pricey. I’d need to save up for the next level up

Too bad, the 30 ans does not seem to be that widely available either...
Will put this brand on my wish list, for when the opportyunity comes up to score a bottle at a fair price!

It’s great stuff if you can find them at a good price. Unfortunately, most places attached a premium to this Armagnac. There was one time I saw a store online that wants to get rid of this product line, and had them on a steep discount, but they don’t ship to my state. I had to watch someone steal it from right in front of my eyes

The agony! Here in Nl, wijncirkel.com offers the Dd'A 15 ans for €90 and the Dd'A 20 ans for €125 (free shipping). They also have some vintages, the 1975 for €189. On the high side for an armagnac, but not downright criminal prizes. Probably a bit more in the States!?

Yes. A bit more in the States is right. Quite a bit more actually. €307 in today’s exchange rate for the 1975.

T'is weer eens iets anders, he. Na wat gelezen te hebben over gedistilleerde dranken eind vorig jaar, wat opzoekwerk hier op het forum en na wat aarzelen, heb ik toch beslist om nog eens een Armagnac aan te schaffen. Ik had al wat goede dingen gelezen over Domaine Ravignan en dan vooral over de 1978 millésime. En dus komt die ergens volgende week mijn kant op. Dit wordt er eentje om gelijk open te maken, denk ik.
