Maison Léda – Château de Laubade
Color: deep mahogany with copper highlights. Nose: prune, fig, candied orange, cocoa, blond tobacco and spices. Palate: powerful and silky, with stewed fruit, fine wood and noble rancio notes, supported by perfectly integrated warmth and a majestic finish. Pairing: lacquered duck with plums and sweet spices. Comment: a superb Bas-Armagnac, deep and racy, whose cask strength magnifies the richness, complexity and brilliance of the 1999 vintage.
