Vinous – neil Martin – 90-92/100
The 2021 d’Armailhac, aged in 50% new oak, is the first vintage to be
vinified in the new winery, which was completed a month before the
harvest. It has quite a strict bouquet, tight and focused, with broody dark
berry fruit, pencil box and tar, quite classic in style. The palate is
harmonious and smooth with fine tannins, just the right amount of acidity
and a sapid finish that lingers in the mouth. Residual graphite notes linger
after the wine has exited. Very fine.

Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate – 91-93/100
Reminiscent of a modern-day version of this estate’s delicious 1999, the 2021 d’Armailhac is a terrific wine bursting with aromas of wild berries, cherries, exotic spices and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless, it’s fleshy and enveloping, with melting tannins and an ample core of sweet, succulent fruit. This is a pleasure-bent wine that will offer a broad drinking window.
