Casteja VSOP Armagnac Borie Manoux 1980s Bottling

An amber robe with topaz and orange tints.

Very well balanced nose, very smooth and tender which marry molasses, dry banana, rice powder, white chocolate, nettle flower, Petunia (a subtle mix of chocolate,iodine and wisteria). After having warmed it up, it offers leather flavours, dry wood, white truffle and quinine bark tints. The mouth is smooth, woody, with chocolate truffle flavours, vanilla, cinnamon, brioche-like flavours. The final touch reminds of liquorice.
