Chateau d'Armailhac 2018

Pauillac

5th Growth of 1855

The Château d'Armailhac 2018 stands out as an exceptional vintage, reflecting the estate's continued rise in quality. Deep and dark in color, this wine immediately captivates with its complex bouquet of smoke, tobacco leaf, blackberries, plums, wet earth, and thyme. On the palate, it is lush and round, with layers of sweet, ripe dark fruits complemented by soft, round tannins. The flavours unfold with hints of herbs, pepper, dark chocolate, and spice, culminating in a robust finish of black and dark red fruits. Comprising 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot, this wine promises to evolve beautifully over the next decade, showcasing its full potential and elegance.
