Tasting Notes for Tariquet Plat de Graisse 18 Years Bas-Armagnac

 

Nose: A captivating aroma of dried prunes, stewed cherries, and roasted hazelnuts, underscored by elegant notes of vanilla, sandalwood, and sweet baking spices. Subtle hints of cocoa, leather, and toasted oak add layers of complexity.

 

Palate: Rich and full-bodied, with a velvety mouthfeel. Flavors of dark caramel, fig compote, and candied orange peel dominate, complemented by nuances of black tea, nutmeg, and a whisper of anise. The wood influence is perfectly integrated, enhancing the spirit's depth without overpowering its fruit-forward nature.

 

Finish: Exceptionally long and warming, with lingering flavors of toasted almonds, soft spices, and a hint of cocoa powder. A delicate touch of rancio emerges, showcasing its extensive aging.

 

Overall: The Tariquet Plat de Graisse 18 Years is a beautifully crafted Bas-Armagnac, offering a harmonious balance of richness, finesse, and complexity. It is a testament to Domaine Tariquet’s dedication to traditional methods and their mastery of long-aged Armagnacs, making it a superb choice for connoisseurs seeking a refined and memorable experience.
