The aroma shows oak and a hint of fudge. Give this Armagnac some time to open in the glass to coax the most out of this surprisingly light, lively brandy. The first sips show dried fig and baked apple, followed by a cocoa midpalate and finishing long with walnut astringency, hints of baking spice and lemon peel. Kara NewmanÂ
