Domaine d'Ognoas - 1976 - Bas Armagnac tasted by the Best Sommelier in the World Andreas Larsson. Candied Fruit, Chocolate, Nutty Nuts The colour is more than deep golden, I would say light amber, and the rim is pretty thin, so it indicates it has a fair amount of age here. The nose really confirms it. High complexity here, there is a lot of stuff going on. Far from that youthful and primary notes. Here we have some balmy notes, very high intensity, we have some volatile compounds. I think all old spirits have that, so it is not a negative thing, but is adding intensity and complexity to it. Then we can add to the spicy notes; spice box, with notes of cedar wood, tobacco, a lot of candy, like hazelnuts, or like chocolate coated hazelnut or that kind of nutty, chocolatey stuff. A really complex and inviting nose. Great intensity on the palate, really powerful, persistent, with great length, really multi-layered in terms of flavour, it keeps happening, a lot of things, on the palate. I would say once again the alcohol is finely integrated here, it rather adds a certain amount of freshness to this one. Plenty of nutty, spicy and smoky flavours. Really, really long finish. So I would probably opt for something like thirty years old, going back in time, at that stage it should display this kind of complexity. Very good.
