Chateau d'Armailhac 5eme Cru Classe

Armailhac 2018

d'Armailhac

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 95.0

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.

55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot. Deep ruby. Smoky ripe nose of dark cherry and cedar. Good middle fruit, quite chalky and austere tannins that are a little awkward against the overall structure. Good fresh acids but a hint of dried fruit on the back end. (TP)

This is clearly one of the most concentrated d’Armailhacs that has been produced in recent decades owing to the extremely small and concentrated berries, especially Cabernet Sauvignon, harvested at the end of the growing season. It’s also one of the best, with clear personality and power, and although still the least complex of the three Pauillacs in the Mouton stable, it should offer the best value giving a ton of rich fruit and cigar box frisson. 5% Petit Verdot makes up the blend. 3.7pH. Tasted several times – always with the same impression.
