Darroze Bas Armagnac Domaine St. Aubin Le Houga 1967
In 1974 Francis Darroze started his business as a trader and producer of vintage Bas-Armagnacs, traditionally distilling each vintage by the same method used in the region for the past 150 years. Today, Darroze has 45 different vintages of Armagnac from 30 different estates, kept in wood barrels until it is ordered. This allows the Armagnac to continue to age. According to Wine Enthusiast: "Initial fragrances are of lead, black pepper and tobacco leaf; with another six minutes of aeration, the bouquet turns bitter, steely and metallic. Palate entry displays semisweet tastes of marshmallow, cola and walnut; midpalate is highlighted by chewy flavors of almond butter and bacon fat. Finish is oily, thick and semisweet."
