Tasting Notes

First Tasted at Meeting No. 72 in August 2018
 •  5.0

Black Prince: Wow. The finish on this is out of this world. Armagnac really sings through this. Long spicy complex.

 •  4.5

Restrained nose but red pez, plum and dried apricots. Paradoxically, it’s both mouth wateringly juicy and mouth puckeringly dry.

 •  4.5

Brown sugar and nectarines, can’t believe this is cask strength. Delicious!
