DESCRIPTION:
Teneraze in the house! 
I've visited Julien and his Domaine Séailles in May 2023. I can really recommend to visit him. But be aware! It's quiet difficult to find him. Feels like it's a top secret Domaine. If you taste yourself through his wonderful collection of old Armagnacs, you maybe understand why it is that hidden :)
The 20 year old is, beside Juliens newer organic collection, the youngest Armagnac he offers. But what are we talking about? 20 years is a very good age though.

COLOUR:
Forest honey

NOSE:
Wonderful complex Tenareze nose. Banana and cherry jam, caramel, dates, raisins and some marzipan.

PALATE:
The palate is tingling and more on the dry side. Wood is present. Dried fruits like raisins and dates continue here. A little bit biterness, like some lemon zest.

FINISH:
Medium but strong finish. It's more a ristretto finish. Some ginger and grapefruit.

OVERALL IMPRESSION: 
Highlight for me is the superb nose. Really intense and diverse. Overall a very nice 20 year old Tenareze. But if you have the chance to taste a vintage, you should go for it. 

RESULT:
- 88/100 -
