Castarede Armagnac 2003

Introduction

The Armagnac Castarede comes from the Castarede family, who have been running their winery in the Armagnac region of France since 1832. The nose is rich with stewed fruits, cedary oak and enticing aromas of pecans, honey, plums and white pepper. After some time, sweeter notes of vanilla, sticky dates, and old muscat develop. The palate is silky and elegant with dried fruits, bread pudding, toffee and baking spices with gentle fine tannins on the finish. Great finesse and surprisingly delicate for an old Armagnac.
