Description
Ch. d'Armailhac has all the hallmarks of its big brother, Ch. Mouton Rothschild, this year. The property is found right next door and shares many of the qualities that have made its illustrious sibling so famous.
It is creamy, brimming full of dark, dense blackberries and has a lovely savoury finish. This is seriously juicy, and I really like the succulent ripe fruits that dominate the palate. The cool and racy undertones are really pleasing. Full of flair and gravitas, if priced correctly it will be a real treat.
Blend: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot

Pauillac
The aristocrat of the Médoc boasts 75 percent of the region’s First Growths, with Grand Cru Classés representing 84 percent of production. Pauillac's First Growths each have their own unique characteristics: Ch. Lafite Rothschild produces the region’s most aromatically-complex and subtly-flavoured wine, while – with its high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon – Ch. Mouton Rothschild can produce a decadently rich, fleshy and exotic wine.
