Château d'Armailhac 2015, Pauillac Grand Cru Classé

93 bod. - Wine Enthusiast

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.

Vino je granatno crvene boje sa grimiznom nijansom.  Izrazito izražajan nos je izvanredan zbog svojih intenzivnih i sjajnih aroma crvenog voća, koje se miješaju sa notama pečene kafe i marcipana. Obiman i pun napad otkriva zaobljenu, svilenkastu strukturu tanina, dajući utisak bogatstva i volumena, podvučenu velikodušnim i raznovrsnim spektrom ukusa kao što su trešnja, vanila i sladić. Dug završetak je podržan nagovještajima čokolade.

60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 9% 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 wine is a garnet red with a crimson tint.  The highly expressive nose is remarkable for its intense and radiant red fruit aromas mingled with notes of roasted coffee and marzipan. The ample and full-bodied attack reveals a well-rounded, silky tannic structure, giving an impression of richness and volume, underlined by a generous and varied range of flavours such as cherry, vanilla and liquorice. The long finish is sustained by hints of chocolate.
