- Description
- Laballe's 1993 vintage Armagnac, bottled in 2025 after over three decades in barrel, captures the distinctive character of this southwestern French brandy. The nose and palate develop layered notes—fresh apple and overripe banana alongside vanilla custard, dried meat, and earthy petrichor—that reflect the Armagnac tradition of rustic complexity. At 47.7% ABV, it has presence and grip. For Armagnac enthusiasts seeking the regional terroir and aging potential that Laballe represents.
