My bottle is on the way, but I was interested in your take on it.<br /><br />Like many younger armagnacs, it's made from 100% Folle Blanche. I know you liked some of those in the past, but you weren't enamored with the Tariquet. I like the Tariquet 15yr--it is less bold and spicy, but I like the apple cider and soft cinnamon notes I get from it.Alexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-65002100151732525132013-01-11T11:20:39.236-08:002013-01-11T11:20:39.236-08:00Patience is not one of my best virtues but I wll d...Patience is not one of my best virtues but I wll do my best.

The <a href="http://www.recenteats.blogspot.com/2013/01/chateau-de-pellehaut-armagnac.html" rel="nofollow">Pellehaut Reserve</a> that I posted about earlier this week is widely available. We will have another one today that is on the east coast and may expand. I haven't had the one you mentioned, but I intend to keep tasting, so hopefully there will be more to come.skuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487419662314518931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-66415780588905906842013-01-10T07:45:07.594-08:002013-01-10T07:45:07.594-08:00I see you note this is your final review of K&...I see you note this is your final review of K&L exclusive Armagnacs. Will any of your reviews in the future be for bottles that are available from somewhere besides K&L? I am sure they have lovely stuff but I don't live in California and that aren't able to ship to me. I would love to hear about bottles of Armagnac that might be more readily available in other parts of the country or from other major internet shippers. For example Castarède Sélection Armagnac was recently suggested as a young but good "starter" Armagnac. Any thoughts on that one or similar options?tanstaafl2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02983632392962001316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-32453896065341414212013-01-08T20:55:15.732-08:002013-01-08T20:55:15.732-08:00Great to hear!

See that world? I'm not just a one man hyperbole machine!!<br /><br />There are more of these on the water, so don't worry if you wanted one and didn't get one in time. Pellehaut, Baraillon, and d'Ognoas brandies are not single cask so we can keep reordering. Problem is they don't have a delivery truck in CA, so we have to send a boat and it takes a while.David Dnoreply@blogger.com
