DESCRIPTION:

Here we have the 1st release from a exciting new project. This is a Bas Armagnac and it was chosen throughout a jury of 4 people. They've tasted four secrets Armagnacs from different houses and this, the Tuilerie from 1984, was the winner.

COLOUR:
Bordeaux Red

NOSE:
Lot of vanilla and marzipan. Then some fresh cherries and tangerine juice.

PALATE:
Very smooth and oily with notes of milk chocolate, cappucino, maple syrup, very ripe mango and bananas and always elegant and sweet.

FINISH:
Terrific finish. It has everything a Bas-Armagnac finish needs. Wood, spices, tobacco, coffee, raisins and even after a long time, you suddenly have this old and wet cellar taste. Reminds me a on a light Chateau de Gaube finish.

OVERALL IMPRESSION: 

Wonderful first release from Amateuerspirit. Chapeau! 

Perfect in harmony and balance. 

Really looking forward for more releases coming up. 

RESULT: 
- 92/100 -
