Spirit review: Armagnac Laballe 1993 (2013) Bottled @ 40%

- 1st Laballle, 20 years old

Colour: dark gold, hints of copper, oily, long legs

Nose: light white pepper, lots of fruits, very fresh, broken sugar pieces, vanilla, mineral notes, sweets, confit fruits, light and peppery

Mouth: strong arrival, crisp fruits, pear, cherries, white pepper, some robust notes, orange, apples. Wow arrival that turns to a quick halt. Turns to sticky fruits

Finish: light afterburn...but not very pleasing.

B for the price. 112$ is ok for the age. Yet the taste does not fit.
B for the taste. A rougher yet Nice armagnac.
A for the presentation. Nice bottling.
