2019 Chateau d’Armailhac 5eme Cru Classe, Pauillac 6x75cl

Chateau d'Armailhac

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 93

Drink To: 2024-2034

Swamped with the juiciness of cassis, Château d’Armailhac produces a sumptuous flavour profile where luscious, ripe fruits dominate. Its deep gravelly soil is a terroir favoured by Cabernet Sauvignon, which allows the grapes to thrive. At 172 acres, Château Armailhac’s blend consists of Cabernet Sauvignon (c.56%), Merlot (c.32%), Cabernet Franc (c.10%), and Petit Verdot (c.2%). Currently owned by the Mouton Rothschild branch of the Rothschild family, Armailhac isn’t overshadowed by its perhaps more famous counterpart, but instead reaps the same benefits of its illustrious neighbour through both their unrivalled expertise and enviable terroir.

Neal Martin

The 2019 d'Armailhac is very perfumed, quite floral on the nose, touches of mint and cassis pinning this down as a Pauillac. The palate is medium-bodied with a slight bitterness on the entry. The tannins are rougher than its peers, yet balanced with a fresh saline, rather sinewy finish. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

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.

Tasted blind. Deep crimson. Light and a little loose-textured. Sweet start. A bit jagged. Not the most sophisticated. (JR)
