  This is a lovely Armagnac. The label says it was distilled in 1955 and bottled in 2004. The bottle and label were clean, the spirit level came up into the neck. and the cork was easy to extract. The color was a light golden brown. When opened it had a very attractive floral aroma. The flavor was subdued. The sharp alcohol searing sensation common in younger Cognacs and Armagnacs was gone. There were hints of aprocot and vanilla. My favorate Armagnac was a 1955 Semple, which unfortunately I can no longer get -- that bottling was full of fruit and vanilla. This Armagnac does not reach that level but it has a much broader flavor profile than many of the other Armagnacs I have tried including a 1960 Sempe. If you can get this and you like Armagnac you will enjoy this one.
