Aromatic intensity, wild flowers, some chocolate and blackcurrant notes. Red cherries. Grippy and filling but soft, chalky and saline, a gorgeous weight on the palate with ripe bramble berries, cool blue fruit and lots of cola, liquorice and wet stones. Very transparent and hands off. A touch straight but lovely muscular edge without the heft. Juicy, fun, clean, pure. Balanced. Savoury. Great job controlling the extraction – tannins are there but this is sapid too. A little more serious and structured and perhaps overall elegant than Clerc. A 2% dash of Petit Verdot completes the blend. | Decanter | 2026 | 96

Druiven: 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc

Château d’Armailhac, gelegen in Pauillac, is een Cinquième Grand Cru Classé. Sinds 1933 is het eigendom van Château Mouton-Rothschild. Waanzinnig veel wijn voor een, in verhouding, zeer zachte prijs. In de 70 hectare wijngaarden staan Cabernet Sauvignon (52%), Merlot (36%) Cabernet Franc (10%) en Petit Verdot (2%) aangeplant. De grand vin rijpt gedurende 18 maanden in Frans eiken vaten waarvan 30% nieuw.
