Chateau D'Armailhac 2006

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (91)

This impressive Pauillac is performing even better from bottle than it did from barrel. Made by the staff at Mouton Rothschild, it is a blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Merlot and Cabernet Franc. A dense ruby/purple color is followed by a bouquet of grilled meats, subtle herbs, coffee, black currants, and a hint of camphor. The sweetness of the tannins, full-bodied mouthfeel, and stunning length, all in gorgeous symmetry, suggest this is one of the finest d’Armailhacs yet made. Moreover, it is still reasonably priced by the standards of this region. Anticipated maturity: now-2025.

Tar and blackberry aromas follow through to a medium body, with fine tannins and a medium finish. Pleasant and balanced. Best from 2012 through 2016. 18,330 cases made. –JS
