Château de Bordeneuve 1997, 70 cl

This well-balanced Armagnac is expressive on the nose. Intoxicating floral aromas, peony. A mentholated freshness that expands into a fruitier note, apricots, apple compote. Increasingly animal, leathery. The palate is lively and characterized by woody and dessert-like notes. Mint and violet on the attack. Light acidity. The fruit becomes increasingly dominant, plum. Overall: Balanced, with a return to fruity and woody notes.
