Armagnac Vintage 1993, Castarède (700 ml)

Armagnac Castarède Vintage 1993 je prestižno izdanje iz jedne od najstarijih kuća armanjaka u Francuskoj, poznate po stvaranju destilata izuzetne dubine i profinjenosti. Nakon tri decenije sazrijevanja u tradicionalnom gasconsom hrastu, ovo godište otkriva duboku amber boju sa zlatnim odsjajem i primamljiv buket suvih kajsija, smokava i šljiva, obogaćen koricom narandže, vanilom i dodirom toplih začina. Na nepcu je gladak i slojevit, sa ukusima kuvanog koštičavog voća, karamela, tostiranih badema i nagovještajem kakaa, uravnotežen blagom strukturom hrasta i suptilnom kompleksnošću rancia. Završetak je dug, topao i elegantan, sa postojanim notama suvog voća, slatkih začina i uglačanog drveta. Složen, a harmoničan, Castarède 1993 je profinjeni armanjak koji oslikava i nasljeđe kuće i karakter svog godišta — savršen za polako uživanje u posebnim prilikama.

Armagnac Castarède Vintage 1993 is a distinguished expression from one of France’s oldest Armagnac houses, known for crafting spirits of remarkable depth and refinement. After three decades of maturation in traditional Gascon oak, this vintage reveals a deep amber colour with golden highlights and an inviting bouquet of dried apricots, figs, and plums, accented by orange zest, vanilla, and a touch of warm spice. On the palate, it is smooth and layered, offering flavours of stewed stone fruits, caramel, toasted almonds, and hints of cocoa, balanced by a gentle oak structure and subtle rancio complexity. The finish is long, warming, and elegant, with lingering notes of dried fruit, sweet spice, and polished wood. Complex yet harmonious, Castarède 1993 is a refined Armagnac that captures both the heritage of the house and the character of its vintage — perfect for slow enjoyment on special occasions.
