Review overview

This Armagnac is incredibly flavorful and indulgent. It has loads of juicy orange, as well as funky notes of overly ripe pineapple, banana, apple, and pear. There are also hints of freshly printed magazines. It's wonderfully honeyed and full of fruity, floral, and oak flavors. This smooth and ...
