    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    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.

    Neal Martin,

    The 2018 d’Armailhac has retained its alluring floral bouquet, delivering layers of blackberry and boysenberry fruit, crushed violet petals and background scents of marjoram and sage, all beautifully defined. The palate is perhaps just a little oakier than I recollect from barrel [I subsequently found out that this spent 17 months in barrel, longer than in the past] but still very well balanced, with a fine bead of acidity. Harmonious and silky-smooth toward the finish, with a touch of graphite lingering on the aftertaste. It may merit a higher score with cellaring but I will remain prudent with my score... for now.
