Critics scores
93 Robert Parker
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 D'Armailhac opens with gregarious crème de cassis, blackberry pie and mulberries scents with hints of chocolate box, roses and charcoal with a waft of dried sage. Medium-bodied, the palate has a rock-solid frame of firm, grainy tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing long and earthy.
93 Wine Spectator
This juicy red sports dark plum, fig and boysenberry fruit backed by an equally strong wave of bramble and sweet tobacco notes. The cast-iron spine pins down the finish, so give this a little time to integrate fully. Best from 2023 through 2038. — JM

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.
