This is very tannic yet polished and firm with currants, bark, and stones. Full-bodied and muscular and linear. Love the length. Beautiful. Try in 2020.

Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Süssliches Bouquet mit roten Beeren und etwas Cassis, zeigt eine schöne, elegante Fülle in der Nase. Im Gaumen mit Charme, weiche Tannine, aromatisches Finale. Besser als 2012 und 2013. Das ist ja eigentlich logisch. Aber ich war leider in den letzten zwei Jahren eher enttäuscht von diesem Cru. Jetzt stimmt es wieder! 17/20 2022 – 2045

Fresh and pure, but not shy on depth, offering an ample core of cassis and blackberry purée flavors. There's a fine chalky minerality throughout, but overall the structure is polished. Anise and spice notes add range. Best from 2018 through 2028.

The 2014 D'Armailhac has a clean and fresh bouquet with plenty of fruit: blackberry and raspberry coulis, a touch of cedar coming through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine line of acidity and a tangible level of mineralité on the tensile finish. This is a sophisticated d'Armailhac, probably one that will be approachable after 4-5 years. Recommended, even if I do not regard it as the greatest d'Armailhac in recent years.<br/> <br/>

Producer
Château d’Armailhac
Much like its prestigious neighbors, Château Clerc Milon and Château Mouton Rothschild, Château d’Armailhac is also owned by the Rothschild family. Since the 17th century, the estate has belonged to the original owners, the d’Armailhacq family until 1993 when Baron Philippe de Rothschild acquired the property. By 1989, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild took charge of the property, and worked to restore the château’s genuine identity until her passing in 2014. A classified Fifth Growth in the illustrious 1855 Classification, the 70-hectare estate in northern Pauillac is planted with 50-hectares of traditional Médoc grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot. In line with their classical Médoc style, under careful observation, their wines are aged in oak barrels, making the wine powerful, and deliciously tannic.
