Delord Armagnac XO presents classic Armagnac depth and balance. Aged in oak, it opens with dried fruit, vanilla, and spice, then delivers a velvety palate of prune, fig, and cocoa with a touch of nuttiness. The finish is long and warming with oak and spice. A solid digestif choice that pairs well with dark chocolate, aged cheeses, or coffee desserts. Best enjoyed neat to fully appreciate its maturity, or with a splash of water to open the bouquet.
