2018 Château d'Armailhac, Pauillac, Bordeaux

Description

Pretty fruit, this is very nicely done, with good density on the palate, which is creamy and dense. It’s full of sweet ripe fruit, but there is also grip and some welcome bite. The 2018 is a very good wine, not compelling – but that isn't D'Armailhac's style. The alcohol is just under 14%, which explains the fresher edge to the wine. Very accomplished. Drink 2023-2025.

Pauillac

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.
