Calvados Pays d'Auge Vintage 1972

Double distillation. Aged in red barrels at Calvados. Amber colour.

Bewitching on the nose, evolving towards spicy fragrances (nutmeg, pepper). Then develops into pear followed by jasmine. Almonds and rice-powder at the end of the glass.

A frank attack on the palate underlined by a good level of acidity, become more full-bodied as the tannin-based structure of the Calvados emerges. Remarkable length and strength of aroma. Orange peel and nuts in the finish.
