The Artages Rarest Reserve 50 Years immediately captivates with its radiant golden hue that transitions into a warm amber color – a visual introduction to the rich depth that lies within this exceptional brandy. Upon smelling, a beautifully layered aroma unfolds, with hints of soft vanilla, candied ginger, and roasted walnut, enriched with subtle accents of dried apricots and a touch of dark chocolate. These scents are the result of decades of aging and testify to the high-quality nature of this brandy. The taste is lush and full, with complex notes of nuts, spices, and dried fruit that unfold on the palate. The finish is silky, elegant, and long-lasting. Artages 50 is best enjoyed when sipped neat, preferably after dinner, as a refined digestif. This way, its deep and complex flavors can fully shine. However, this brandy is not just a solo experience; it pairs surprisingly well with culinary delights. The rich taste of dark chocolate forms a perfect match, as do aged cheeses such as a sharp blue cheese or a mature Comté. Roasted nuts or a piece of walnut cake add an extra dimension to the experience, while dried fruit complements the warm nuances of the brandy. For the true connoisseur, there may be no finer moment than closing the experience with a refined cigar, completing the ritual of indulgence. This is the ideal time for relaxation and reflection. The brandy reaches its full potential when served at a temperature of 18 to 20°C, allowing the complex aromas and flavors to fully express themselves. It is recommended to serve Artages 50 in a tulip-shaped brandy glass or a cognac snifter, so that the aromas can concentrate well, enhancing the experience of this exceptional drink even further.
