Laberdolive 1946 Domaine de Jaurrey Bas Armagnac

There are very few products whose clear superiority and singularity allow them to define the very category into which they are placed. The Armagnacs of Laberdolive, however, have for many years been regarded by a consensus of connoisseurs as the exemplar of the highest standard to which Armagnac can aspire. As Charles Neal observed in his ARMAGNAC, The Definitive Guide to France’s Premier Brandy:

Charles Neal: "Perfect amber color. Highly aromatic nose. Soave, seductive mouth with everything in balance. Hints of pine, with lots of finesse. Very long. A real gentleman."  bottled: July 2021 43% ABV.
