    A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot, the 2003 d’Armailhac is medium to deep garnet-brick in color. It swans out with gregarious notions of baked plums, boysenberry preserves, and blackcurrant jelly, giving way to hints of tobacco leaf, sauteed herbs, and rusty nails. The medium-bodied palate delivers chewy tannins and plenty of freshness to support the earthy flavors, finishing on a mineral note.

    The 2003 Château d'Armailhac is mature on the nose with singed leather, sous-bois, morels and perhaps a hint of a sweaty saddle. But I like it. The palate is medium-bodied with lighter tannins, meaty and savory, missing a bit of grip with a touch of Brettanomyces that becomes more dominant as it opens in the glass. Tasted at the château.
