Tasting notes

Neal Martin, vinous.com, September 2021 92

The 2001 d’Armailhac is immediately more impressive on the nose compared to the 2000, offering darker and more vibrant, blacker fruit compared to the previous vintage. There is more fruit concentration and much more intensity. The medium-bodied palate features sappy black fruit laced with seaweed and orange peel. A lovely underlying saline edge lends tension toward the finish. This d’Armailhac is maturing beautifully and clearly has the upper hand over its millennial counterpart. 2021 - 2035

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (153), June 2004 89

Medium deep ruby/purple-colored with a sweet perfume of cedar wood, chocolate, oak, and black currants, this medium-bodied, attractive, soft Pauillac is ideal for drinking now and over the next 12-13 years.

Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, October 2007 15.5

A bit small and timid. Quite green tannins. Pretty austere and chewy.

Steven Spurrier, Decanter.com, June 2000

Really good colour, a big, meaty wine for this Château, ripe small berry fruit, rich and rounded with good structure, quite tannic but well-balanced. Really very good. ****

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (146), April 2003 89/91

Probably as successful as the 2000, this blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot exhibits an inky purple color, good sweetness, and plenty of toasty oak, licorice, and spice box notes. Pure, with ripe tannin and low acidity, it should be delicious young and age nicely for up to 12-15 years.

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (140), April 2002 87/88

This blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot was produced from modest yields of 36 hectoliters per hectare. According to administrator Patrick Leon, no Cabernet Franc was utilized because its quality was not satisfactory. A dark ruby color is followed by a tight, firm, medium-bodied Pauillac with noticeable tannin, and an aggressive palate impression. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2014. As with many estates, the 2000 blows away the 2001.
