This Armagnac was produced in 1995 by Domaine Lous Pibous from Folle Blanche grapes in Bas Armagnac, France.

It is matured for 27 years in 150 barrels in a temperature-controlled warehouse and was bottled in 2023 (05/2023) by L'Encantada for Grape of the Art at 54.7% cask strength at the 1st German Wine Festival 'Armagnac. An Alambic Armagnacais (column still) was used for the distillation.

Already in the eyes and nose it expresses its great personality.

Dark, with a lot of cedar wood and paint/glue, sometimes touching on balsamic notes. Butter caramel and brown sugar, juicy cherries and some plums. Subtle whiffs of papaya in the background, as well as dark berries and fresh herbs.

On the palate we are struck by seductive balsamic notes, alongside tart fruits. Blood oranges, pink grapefruit, other (sour) cherries and raspberries, juicy herbs, air-dried tobacco and peppercorns. Light charred notes and hints of burnt sugar towards the end.

This is essentially a rather oaky Armagnac, but the tart and slightly tropical fruits make it a very vibrant drink. An armagnac that you certainly won't forget!
