Borderies N°84 (57,3%, Jean Grosperrin, Cognac, 2017) Four stars
Probably a 1984. Colour: deep gold. Nose: this one’s perhaps a little more jammy (plums, mirabelles) and honeyed (heather). A more obvious spiciness as well, more cedar wood, perhaps globally more simplistic and straightforward, with hints of calvados, ripe apples, a bit of oak-aged kirsch as well, some caramelised burnt brown sugar, some furniture polish, molasses as well, amaretti… Mouth: maybe slightly more buttery, this one, but there’s a spicy, apple-y, gritty background. Maybe that’s the higher strength? Burnt cake and slivovitz, vieille prune (old plum spirit)… Well we’ve known some Armagnacs that were like this. Marc de gewurz’. A more rustic Cognac overall. With a drop of water: creamier and fresher. Tinned peaches and pears, almond milk, Oreo biscuits… Fruit peel in the background. Finish: rather long, candied, remaining quite punchy. Angus is finding notes of Cognac (tired, perhaps?) He’s also finding glazed cherries. Comments: very fine.
SGP:451 - 85 points (Angus 84).
