Tariquet Familia Grassa Bas-Armagnac XO

Yves Grassa is lucky to have a 2000-acre expanse of land is France's Southwest region which supplies traditional grapes Ugni Blanc, Baco, Manseng, and Colombard for all his winemaking and distilling needs. Château Tariquet Bas-Armagnac XO is a blend of Ugni-Blanc 60% and Baco 40% which was aged in oak for at least 15 years. If you've never tried Armagnac before, this might be the wrong starting point. The XO will spoil you forever, and you'll never be able to go back to the cheaper stuff. But, it's a risk you might have to take. 

Flavor Profile: An intense bouquet, steeped with the aromas of freshly baked bread, toast, and underlying candied fruit. Fresh, supple and well-rounded on the palate, revealing a subtle union of vanilla oak and fruit. Good length, with the aromas of dried fruit and toast on the finish.
