- Description
- Laballe's 1979 Bas Armagnac from a single vintage brings liquorice, lavender, and dried fruit to the nose, with over 45 years of age contributing complexity and oxidative depth. The palate shifts toward honeycomb sweetness and stone fruit, with the florality of the nose subsiding into earthy warmth. The texture is elegant and concentrated, befitting a venerable armagnac of this age. A rare bottling from 2025 for serious spirit collectors seeking historical French brandy.
