Camus 'Rarissimes - Fins Bois' Cognac Vintage 1983

The ‘Rarissismes’ range is a selection of the best single vintage Cognacs in the Camus’s Cellar, a pure expression of the year, coming in a very limited volume, for a guaranteed outstanding Cognac. Marked by heavy hailstorms, followed by a very hot summer, the 1983 harvest was distilled the year of the 120th anniversary of the House of Camus. Time and expertise have done their work ever since, revealing the profound harmony of the Fins Bois with its notes of fruit, vanilla and spice. Evoking all at once the heritage and the contemporary character of the brand, this Cru Fins Bois 1983 Cognac’s style and design are gracefully discreet, allowing the antique gold robe, highlighted with amber tints of this rare Cognac. The nose is open and complex combining nutmeg aromas with a dash of orange zest and sweet spice, backed with subtle hints of undergrowth. The palate is balanced, rounded and dense, with a velvety-smooth finish. The hints of nutmeg and other spices are a sure sign of maturity, while the vine flower aromas add a touch of finesse and the candied citrus fruit aromas ensure that the 1983 still retains a vibrant freshness. This is sourced from 3 small barrels, bottled under Bailiff’s supervision October 16th 2013 after 30 Years in oak, drawing a mere 693L, bringing only 990 bottles available worldwide, all numbered.
