Wine Enthusiast
The opening nosings find smells of roasted chestnut and baked pear; later sniffings pick up succulent notes of pineapple, caramel, black raisins, prunes and old oak. The palate entry is creamy textured and semisweet; at the midpalate the flavor becomes integrated and very nutty/woody. Concludes oily, semisweet and oaky. *Best Buy, Highly Recommended*

Vinous
Rather dark in color for a six-year-old, Marie Duffau Napoléon is almost nut brown. Soft, warm orange aromas and sweet, round flavors of milk chocolate, sponge cake, and a spicy, pithy finish. Solid and affordable for such a young Armagnac. Bas-Armagnac, 40% abv. (JW)

K&L Notes
Only estate fruit, raised organically, is used in the production of these fine Armagnacs. Aged a minimum of six years. Flavors of cocoa, cake batter and vanilla. Soft tannins on the finish and a touch of rancio.
