2020 Château d'Armailhac Pauillac

Château d'Armailhac belongs to Château Mouton Rothschild and it is the same team that takes care of the vinification under the leadership of Mr Philippe Dhalluin. The very qualitative terroir consists for 80% of a hillside rich in stone (just like the neighbours Ch. Mouton Rothschild and Ch. Pontet Canet). The mother house does everything to keep the quality as high as possible. The wine has had a very nice constitution and very nice volume in recent years.

This beautiful 2020 Château d'Armailhac Pauillac (Grand Cru Classé) is a blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. In the glass, d'Armailhac has a deep garnet-purple color. The very expressive nose has notes of ripe black fruit, cassis, blackberries and roasted coffee. After a warm, soft and almost creamy attack, an immense mid-taste follows with lots of fine crispy fruit that envelop the fine tannins. The whole is fine, sensual and balanced and supported by a measured wood aging. The finale, which is long and very tasty, has notes of ripe fruit, chocolate and cocoa. A great recommendation! A delicious red wine with great aging potential. Storing this wine for a little longer will certainly benefit! According to James Suckling "It's full and beautiful"
