1938 Nismes-Delclou Vintage Armagnac, France

£925.00

Very rare stuff indeed, and the history and the traditional way this Armagnac has been created from the oldest Armagnac house is great, from the 1938 harvest and kept in oak casks for 58 years until bottling in October 1996!!!!

Description

The palate is very rich, filled with aromas of macerated white fruits and leather.

J. Nismes-Delclou is the oldest firm producing Armagnac, having been established in 1832 by Baron Hausmann. It boasts an exceptional collection of vintage Armagnacs, with more than forty authenticated vintages – the oldest dating from 1881 – crafted from the best products of the Bas Armagnac region and matured in cellars more than a hundred years old. Long ageing in old casks has made this into an incredibly velvety Armagnac, full of seductive notes of violets and cinnamon, caramel and dried stone fruits.
