CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
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)
