Ch. D’Armailhac 2019

5e Grand Cru Classé

Pauillac

The Wine Advocate – 91-93/100
This year the blend is 62%Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, harvested from the 19th of September to the 9th of October. The 2019 D’Armailhac sports a medium to deep garnet-purple color and notes of warm plums, stewed cherries, mulberries and blackcurrant pastilles with touches of aniseed, wild thyme and chocolate box. The medium-bodied palate has a firm frame of fine-grained tannins and bold freshness supporting the expressive black and blue fruits, finishing with a provocative herbal lift.

Vinous – Antonio Galloni – 89-91/100
The 2019 d’Armailhac is bright, punchy and full of character. The purity of the flavors is just striking. Sweet red cherry, white pepper, mint and citrus notes lend energy. In the glass, 2019 d’Armailhac sizzles with tension. If I didn’t know this was from a warm year, I would never guess it. D’Armailhac is super classy in 2019.

Decanter – 93/100

J.M. Quarin – 93/100
Couleur sombre, intense et belle. Nez intense et subtil, au fruité mûr. Tendre et fruité dès l’entrée en bouche, savoureux au milieu, le vin prend de la chair et du goût dans la seconde partie du palais avant de s’achever long, avec beaucoup de charme. C’est très bon.

J. Suckling – 92-93/100
