L'Encantada Assemblage 25 ans 45,5° : Description and customer reviews

Encantada Assemblage 25 ans is an Armagnac from the Bas-Armagnac region, straddling the Gers and Landes departments. Its soil, composed of clayey sand mixed with marine sediments, is renowned for delivering the finest, most aromatic eaux-de-vie.

This eau-de-vie has been selected by the young company L'Encantada. L'Encantada bottles forgotten Armagnacs, mainly from small producers. This 25-year-old Armagnac is the fruit of Bas-Armagnac and Grand-Bas-Armagnac matured in damp cellars.

It was bottled brut de fût in June 2021, i.e. at its natural degree.

Nico's tasting notes

On the nose, you can already detect the kind of concentration that only time can produce. Liveliness is the order of the day, introduced by a veil of solvent, followed by a whiff of rustic, oxidized fruit. Almond and prune bring a more pastry-like but elegant side, enhanced by dried apricots.

Aeration tempers all this, which only reinforces the harmony and elegance. We reach deep into the oak, to find green but melted tannins, which stretch into dried fruit while retaining a beautiful freshness.

On the palate, wood and spice take control, once again testifying to the advanced age of this armagnac. After a fairly astringent entry, the oak tannins gradually give way to those of fruit (grapes, plums...). Good acidity keeps the mid-palate lively.

The finish is dry and softly spicy, with a pastry-like nuance of dried fruit that lingers.

"Character, with good concentration, spicy oak, and a dry, lively palate..."
