- 4th Laballle, 50 years old
Colour: deep gold, darker copper, oily, long legs
Nose: lighter pepper, lots of yellow and red fruits, very fresh, depths of confit fruits, very fresh, light yellow fruits, very settled.
Mouth: strong wow factor on first delivery, oily, pear, cherries, white pepper, orange, marmalade, strong arrival that turns to yet agani a bit flat.
Finish: almost no burn, cherries, pear, sticky fruits. almost perfect. Very nice.
B+ for the price. 327$ is like...ok But... Very enjoyable. This 50 years old Armagnac should have been more carefully monitored.
A- for the taste. I would sip on this one, no questions asked. But, the price...c'mon, some XO's are more affordable and better.
A for the presentation. Nice bottling.
Conclusion for Laballe: Not the best Armagnac House for sure. Worth giving a shot if you are into decent priced but very peppery Armagnacs.
