2022 Chateau d’Armailhac 5eme Cru Classe, Pauillac 6x75cl

Chateau d'Armailhac

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 94

Drink To: 2027-2055

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.

The 2022 Chateau d'Armailhac has a detailed and expressive bouquet that's classic Pauillac in style, with a little more black fruit than I noticed from barrel, here laced with cedar and pencil box aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with quite a succulent entry. It has plenty of fruit concentration, gentle grip, a touch of blackberry mixed with black olive and hints of allspice. There is plenty of energy in this Pauillac and as I wrote previously, there is a very pleasing crescendo at the finish. This is one of the best vintages in recent years.

60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.Very dark with a purple rim. Richer and sweeter on the nose than many. The fruit is all dark. Immense tannins but also immense finesse in the tannins. Stay away for some time. This is all savoury and mineral. Deep-fruited underneath. Massive wine that will reward patience. (JH)
