2003 Château d'Armailhac

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Friday, April 26, 2019 - Friday Tasting Group: Farewell to One of the Group's Stalwarts (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): N: A bit of funk & (natural) oxygenation, but attractively so; Later, cherries, toast, notes of earth, with undertones of oranges

P: Med body; RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish frt met by a very, VERY slightly puckerish astringency which seamlessly morphs into a LONG, BALANCED, very, VERY slightly tangy finish with a bitter/swtness to the very, VERY fine tannins. Not likely to improve further, but should hold for another 4 or 5 yrs min. My EXC, poss EXC/EXC+. 16.5, 16 (2x), & 15.5/20 Jancis Robinson, + numerous other solid reviews listed on wine-searcher's "Tasting Notes" pg.
