Voisin du Château Mouton Rothschild, Château d'Armailhac, 5e Cru Classé, en est pourtant bien distinct, tant par ses vignes que par ses chais et son cuvier.
Couleur sombre, intense et belle. Nez très aromatique, au fruité mûr et profond. Bouche délicieuse, où le vin caresse, fond et se présente à la fois élancé et charnu, sans aucune empreinte de tannin. Jolie longueur savoureuse.
A polished, refined red with blueberries, blackberries and some dark chocolate and spice, such as cloves and black pepper. Full-bodied, round and ripe. Crisp and fresh at the end. Juicy and delicious already.
More classically proportioned than the exuberant 2018, the 2019 D'Armailhac wafts from the glass with aromas of violets, blackberries and cassis complemented by subtle hints of licorice, sweet soil tones and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and perfumed, it's fleshy and enveloping, with an ample core of succulent fruit and beautifully polished, powdery tannins.
Thoroughly enjoyable Armailhac, with concentration immediately apparent on the nose, more so than in many vintages of this wine. There's a pleasing austerity to the tannins giving a confident but not overbearing structure with lovely juiciness on the finish. Of the three Pauillac estates in the Mouton stable, this has the youngest vines as an average age (although also some of the oldest vines in the whole of the Médoc, dating back to the 1890s) which sometimes holds it back from reaching full complexity of expression, but that is not something you'll be complaining about here. Instead you get a fresh core, silkily textured blackberry and cassis fruits with good balance. This is the last vintage made in the old facilities, as they are about to re-do the cellars.
Très belle gestion de la richesse du millésime, avec une fraîcheur épatante. L'assemblage fait la part très belle au cabernet- sauvignon qui dirige la bouche et apporte un côté très épicé et salin à la finale.
Features a racy, chalky minerality that runs amid a core of steeped plum and black currant fruit, with lively cedar, black tea and savory nuance all around. Sneaky long too, thanks to its mineral thread. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2024 through 2040.
A solid, linear red with a beautiful core of fruit and firm tannins, showing blackcurrants and finesse. Full and compact. It’s very fresh and aromatic with violets and hints of spices. Clean and vivid at the end, 62% cabernet sauvignon, 27% merlot, 9% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot. Try after 2025.
Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feine Kräuterwürze, ein Hauch von Edelholz, reife Herzkirschen, zart mit Cassis unterlegt, tabakige Nuancen und kandierte Orangenzesten im Hintergrund. Komplex, engmaschig, frisch strukturiert, schwarze Waldbeeren, präsente, intergrierte Tannine, salzig-mineralischer Abgang, gutes Reifepotenzial.
