A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: The rich topaz color nods to the smooth fruit-and-honey character of this Armagnac. A blend of Baco, Folle Blanche, Ugni Blanc and Colombard grapes yields aromas of butterscotch and fresh apricots, with ethereally light, fruity notes on the palate that are reminiscent of some honeyed Speyside Scotches. Score - 93 (Kara Newman, Wine Enthusiast, Dec. 31, 2012) |
