Community Tasting Note

Sunday, December 17, 2023 - Decanted 6hrs. Is there a more reliable Left Bank that scratches the classical claret itch that hovers around $50 – $70? If I’m being honest, why yes there are lots of fine contenders for this pageant: SM, Cantermerle, Lafon Rochet easily come to mind just to name a few, but I seem to purchase d’Armailhac more often than not. The 19 does nothing to buck what I love about this Chateau. The dark yet to be defined fruit seems a reserved, which surprised me given the vintage. Very clean acidity, and the overall balance seem in alignment. Worth the proverbial early look, but clearly better days are ahead and should be relatively long aged if one was so inclined.
