Marie Duffau Armagnac Hors d’Age 750ml

Expert Review

Wine Enthusiast 94 Points | Although Hors d’ge translates as the subtle phrase “beyond age,” the contrary label trumpets that this brandy is aged 12 years. This seems apt as there’s little subtlety about what’s in the bottle either: rich, bulldozer-bold flavors ranging from buttery brioche to sweet caramel and toffee, braced up with notes of allspice and espresso on the surprisingly creamy and rich finish.

Producer Description

Minimum of 12 years by law, Duffau HA is a minimum of 15 years. Very aromatic. Rich flavors of toffee, old oak, plum and raisins: elegant rancio and long round finish.
