Tasting notes

Chunky cherry and black currant fruit emerge from this medium-bodied, tasty, pure Pauillac. Although there is not a lot of depth, texture or length, what is there is pleasant. Drink it over the next 7-10 years.

The 2011 Château d'Armailhac has a mixture of red and black fruit on the nose, tobacco and graphite, a little more energy here compared to the 2011 Pontet Canet. The palate has a slight greenness on the entry, fine acidity, a bit angular in style with some attenuation on the tobacco and graphite finish. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting. 2022 - 2030

This is fresh and clean with citrus and currant character. Medium body, fine tannins and a delicate finish. A little lean but I like it. Clarity of fruit here. Give it three or four years to soften. Try in 2017.

The nose is quite rich with a mix of flavours. The fresher red fruits show at first on the palate with behind them richer fleshier black cassis and bramble. The tannins are firm but feel ripe adding to the sweetness with towards the back the cherry stone freshness coming through lifting the flavours.

One of an impressive line up from the Mouton stable, this is very approachable for the vintage, showing sweet, violet-scented aromas, notes of incense, blackcurrant and Christmas cake and supple, well-integrated tannins. Comparatively inexpensive, this is a wine that will provide a lot of pleasure. 8+ years.

Lovely expression of spicy, slightly exotic black fruits, beautiful lift of freshness and briary charm - a lovely wine for the medium term. Drink 2015-2025

A strong effort from this property situated between Pontet-Canet and Mouton Rothschild, d'Armailhac's blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot and the rest mostly Cabernet Franc and a touch of Petit Verdot was harvested between September 14-24. Its deep ruby color is accompanied by abundant aromas of black fruits, white chocolate, licorice and flowers. Medium-bodied, expressive, savory, pure and long with sweet tannins, it should drink well for 15+ years.

The 2011 Chateau d'Armailhac is a blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Tasted on three occasions, it is has fine purity with black cherries and raspberry leaf, a less flamboyant d'Armailhac that usual at this early juncture. The palate is medium-bodied with a sappy, succulent entry that has fine tension. I appreciate the balance and substance of this d'Armailhac that shows impressive cohesion and a fine, chalky tannic frame towards the finish. This should turn out to be a respectable 2011. Tasted April 2012.

The wine has a lovely softness to it with a chocolate, currant and blueberry character. Full body, with velvety tannins and juicy finish. Savory wine. 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.
