Domaine de Baraillon 1984

Tasting note

Nose

Christams is the first thing we name. Chocolate wreaths in a pine tree. Sultanas, currants, figs and dates. Darks scents like old books and furniture wax.

Taste

Wood and grapes, but more like old thick wine. Of course, the high alcohol gives it a big boost. Sipping our glass, we get a bit in a trance. As if we were sitting on a veranda in the south of France with a nice glass of armagnac and a thick cigar looking out over the vineyards ready to be harvested. A lovely sweetness must still be mentioned.

Finish

A hint of liquorice and some marzipan is what we mention in the aftertaste, delicious.
