Château d'Armailhac 2019

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

More classically proportioned than the exuberant 2018, the 2019 D'Armailhac wafts from the glass with aromas of violets, blackberries and cassis complemented by subtle hints of licorice, sweet soil tones and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and perfumed, it's fleshy and enveloping, with an ample core of succulent fruit and beautifully polished, powdery tannins. - WK 04/2022

The 2019 d'Armailhac requires a few minutes to open up. It has an intense bouquet of blackberry and small black cherries, iodine and crushed violet, plus a faint hint of tobacco (less than last year). The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black fruit, this 2019 having gained some backbone during its barrel maturation. Solid grip and flavors of black pepper and mint toward the chalky finish. This is excellent, but it will need longer in bottle than I originally envisaged. - NM / 02-2022

Suckling 94

Suckling

A solid, linear red with a beautiful core of fruit and firm tannins, showing blackcurrants and finesse. Full and compact. It’s very fresh and aromatic with violets and hints of spices. Clean and vivid at the end, 62% cabernet sauvignon, 27% merlot, 9% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot. Try after 2025.
