Château d'Armailhac 2010, Pauillac Grand Cru Classé

93 bod. - Wine Spectator

Château d'Armailhac je Grand Cru Classé iz Pauillaca koji obuhvata 80 hektara vinograda sa prosječnom starošću od 40 godina. Imanje se nalazi između prestižnih Château Mouton-Rothschild i Château Lafite. Što se teroara tiče, ne postoji mnogo bolji od ovoga. U vlasništvu je Barona Philippea de Rothschilda, a vino proizvodi isti tim kao i ona vina u Moutonu.

Boja je tamna i intenzivna, gotovo crna. Nos se otvara aromama voća, posebno crne trešnje, praćenim tostiranim, pečenim notama. Vino je odmah puno i snažno na napadu, sa zaobljenim taninima i voćnim ukusima koji razvijaju note vanile, pečene kafe i tostiranih orašastih plodova. Dug završetak je podržan blago tostiranim, hrastovim ukusima. Snažan Château d’Armailhac izuzetne rafiniranosti.

60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot

Château d'Armailhac is a Grand Cru Classé of Pauillac comprising 80 hectares of vines with an average age of 40 years.  The estate  sits between the illustrious Château Mouton-Rothschild and Château Lafite. As terroir goes, it doesn’t get much better than that.  It is similarly owned by Baron Philippe de Rothschild, and is made by the same team as those at Mouton.

The colour is dark and intense, almost black. The nose opens on fruit aromas, especially black cherry, followed by toasted, roasted notes. The wine is immediately full and powerful on the attack, with well-rounded tannins and fruit flavours that develop notes of vanilla, roasted coffee and toasted nuts. The long finish is sustained by slightly toasted, oaky flavours. A powerful Château d’Armailhac of considerable refinement.
