Producer Description
"Extremely classical in style, it leans more heavily towards a rustic and earthy Armagnac profile dominated by dark fruits, layers of earth, tobaccos and chocolate, and many wonderful honeyed and fruity complexities. A glorious aged spirit that is the epitome of class, pleasure and decadence in a glass!"

"Château de Gaube belongs to Domaine de Lassaubatju in Hontanx in the Landes, I believe Darroze bottle it quite often. As for that NAS mention, it's a Scottish thing, I think it means 'No Armagnac Stolen', unless I'm wrong. Colour: gold. Nose: old cognac, old Yquem, heather honey, quince jelly. Emphasis on 'Old Yquem', and I am not joking. Good, to tell you a little more, that would mean leather polish, beeswax, botrytis, dried porcini, dried apricots and, once more, bergamots. Mouth: stunning. Fantastically herbal and mossy, with some very old Bénédictine (the liqueur that easily beats Chartreuse from Tarragone in my book) plus various meads. A huge feeling of humus and, indeed, moss and lichen. Finish: medium, fresh, with some mint, verbena and genepy. Comments: I could as well say it's worth 93 or 94 points but some bored people might say I'm biased, so it's only gonna be 92 (but it's worth 93 or 94). Alert alert alert alert (remember I get a free trouser button every time they sell a case). SGP:661 - 92 points."
