March 1, 2024 - Top frisch, sehr Bordeaux, Tabak, Kirschen, Cassis, Leder, florale Töne. Im Gaumen frisch und sehr jugendlich, zupackendes Tannin, feine Säurestruktur, sehr gute Balance, rotfruchtiges Finish. Ein ausgezeichneter d'Armailhac, mit viel Rasse und Präzision. 2026 bis 2050+

December 13, 2023 - At this point not too sure if its because its young or not but nothing flamboyant there. Need ample time in a decanter (I’d say 3-4h) to show a bit of character.

November 12, 2023 - 375ml half bottle decanted for 3 hours. Had a glass out of bottle last night and was far too closed.
Highlights a typical left bank bordeaux. Cassis, ink, black cherry, spice, pencil lead, a slight note of red fruitd, black plum and chocolate. Finishes with a notable spice, black cherry, and mushroom/truffle accent that is short to moderate in length. As the wine opens, the perfume gets so much stronger.
Fresh, with grainy/powdery and grippy tannins with quite high levels of acid. Quite round and savory. The wine shows some slight fading at the rims and there are fine crystals forming.
Overall, pretty good! For half bottles, would be better to wait another year - at this point of the year, near 2025. For full bottles maybe at least till 2026+2 people found this helpful Comment -

June 30, 2023 - I gave this wine 93 last time I had it. That was a cost factor that made me give it an extra point. (Good value) Going 92 this time. Still a very good wine. I personally think it’s drinking great now and don’t know whether it will get better with more age but I drank and enjoyed with friends and they all
Loved it as well.1 person found this helpful Comment
