Armailhac 2013

d'Armailhac

Case Format: 12x75cl

Max score: 90.0

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.

Understated but with depth to the berry fruit, and keeps its signature Armailhac feel in its floral edge and saline finish. There is fruit here also, sweet crushed strawberries, gourmet cracked pepper, smoke and grilled almond. Balanced and easy to drink. A fine 2013, with a feel of the brilliant 1997 Armailhac that was not in this vertical but that I can thoroughly recommend. Harvest October 1 to 14. Jean-Paul Voelert winemaker, 33% new oak.

Tasted blind. Inky garnet. Odd chemical-like nose. Stalky too. Acid and tannins clash to give a really hard wine. (JH)
