Château d'Armailhac, 5ème Cru Classé, Pauillac, 2017

Produced from 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, this is silky and polished for d'Armailhac. Swathes of fragrant cherry fruit, kirsch and pure raspberry. This is honest, well managed and has plenty of momentum, with a big, but refined tannic structure. Firm and long. This is a very good d'Armailhac.
