Ténarèze Armagnac Vintage 1987
Tasting Highlights
Barrel No. H1
Number of bottles: 540
Cask strength: 54.2%
Bottled in 2021.
Aged in oak casks for 34 years.
This 1987 vintage was discovered lost in the corner of the cellars on one of the most traditional estates in the Ténarèze long after they ceased production.
Natural deep amber color, delicately offset by clear, hints of orange and a lifting touch of rancio.
Reviews
92 points, Excellent, Highly Recommended: “Pours a serene, deep mahogany and shows a vivid bouquet of roasted chestnuts, scorched plum, toasted orange peel, and marzipan. Chewy wood tannins caress the palate and release mature flavors of candied almond and preserved stone fruits." (Ultimate Spirits Challenge, 2022)
92 points: "This is part of Hontambère’s Rare Armagnac collection, a 1987 vintage single cask from the Ténarèze region, bottled at cask strength. Cinnamon bark and cayenne heat open to juicy red fruit, finishing with a wash of vanilla and dried cherry, exiting gently spiced." (Wine Enthusiast, 2021)
