Château de Briat 'Hors d'Age' Armagnac, N/V pinot noir who came to the regionBOTTLED ON DECEMBER 7, 2025. Rich, mature nose of dried fruit, licorice, tobacco, and toasted nuts, layered with vanilla and sweet oak. The palate is round and supple, showing chocolate, candied fig, and toffee alongside spice and a touch of rancio. Finishes warm and lingering, with oak, dark fruit, and a gently smoky, nutty fade.
