CRITIC REVIEWS
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
A blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot, the 2017 d’Armailhac is deep garnet-purple in color. It shoots from the glass with vibrant notions of fresh blackcurrants, black cherries, and black raspberries, plus hints of wild sage, pencil lead, cedar chest, and lavender. Light to medium-bodied, the palate is tightly knit and refreshing, featuring fine-grained tannins and delicate red and black fruit layers, finishing with a mineral lift.

Tasted blind. Deep ruby colour. Enticing blueberry sweetness on the nose. Juicy and pure with fresh blackcurrant. Good energy from bright acidity that is well managed. All summer fruits and vanilla bean on a moreish finish. (TP)
