Im Laufe seiner Geschichte wechselte das Château d'Armailhac mehrmals den Besitzer und den Namen (in der Klassifizierung der Grands Crus von 1855 erscheint es unter dem Namen Mouton-d'Armailhacq), bis es schliesslich von seinem Nachbarn, Baron Philippe de Rothschild, erworben wurde. Die Rebsorten bestehen vorwiegend aus Cabernet Sauvignon und Merlot, die auf traditionelle Weise angebaut werden. Der Ausbau umfasst etwa 30% neue Fässer und 70% Fässer, die direkt von Mouton-Rothschild stammen. Das Château d'Armailhac hat in den letzten Jahren beeindruckende Fortschritte gemacht.

Wineadvocate

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 D’Armailhac (a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot) hits the ground running with wonderfully open-knit, flamboyant scents of Morello cherries, black raspberries, blackcurrant jelly and rose oil, leading to an undercurrent of cinnamon toast, aniseed and mossy tree bark. The medium to full-bodied palate is charged with energy and expressiveness, delivering red and black berry layers with loads of spicy sparks, framed by plush tannins, finishing long and fragrant.

Vinous

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.

Beck

Bouquet filigrane, complexe, aux notes florales avec une touche de café et de caramel. Belle expression fruitée. Caractère légèrement crémeux en bouche. Le vin est élégant, friand et parfaitement équilibré. Il sait bien cumuler finesse et pertinence grâce à des tannins précis dotés d'une belle finesse de grains. Un vin agréable que l'on pourra déjà approcher dans sa jeunesse, mais qui est également doté d'un bon potentiel. 2024-2043 - YB 2020

Suckling

15 Jan, 2021 – Complex aromas of blackcurrant, black olive, clove, oyster shell, pencil lead and tobacco. It’s full-bodied with firm, tightly knit tannins. Concentrated and focused with a very long, spice and mineral finish. Fantastic bottle. Try from 2026.

Dunnuck

Awesome notes of camphor, new leather, cedar pencil, chocolate, and cassis emerge from the 2018 Château D'Armailhac, a full-bodied, concentrated Pauillac that stays nicely focused on the palate, with firm yet ripe tannins, wonderful purity, and a great finish. In short, it's a classic Pauillac that needs 4-6 years of bottle age and should have two decades of prime drinking. - JD 11/2021
