Chateau d'Armailhac Pauillac 2019

$8799

The other Rothschild Pauillac. Chateau d'Armailhac is a Fifth Growth in the hands of the Mouton Rothschild family — same ownership, same winemaking team, same Pauillac terroir, but a softer, more approachable style with a higher proportion of Merlot and Cabernet Franc in the blend. 2019 was an outstanding Pauillac vintage, ripe and structured, and d'Armailhac drinks beautifully young while still rewarding a decade or two in the cellar. A way into the Mouton stable without the Mouton price.

"The 2019 d'Armailhac was the last vintage made in the old winery that has since been demolished to make way for a new gravity-fed facility that will be equipped with 50 smaller vats tailored to the parcels in the vineyard. It will provide greater space that will permit longer élevage if desired. It is fascinating to juxtapose again its Clerc Milon stablemate. There is more amplitude on the nose, it is more forthright with blackberry, wild hedgerow, tobacco and a subtle leather aroma. It comes across less high-toned than previous vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins and slightly more mid-palate depth/grip than the Clerc Milon. The crescendo here is wonderful, fanning out towards the finish with subtle black pepper, sage and mint notes. This is a delicious d'Armailhac in the making."

"More classically proportioned than the exuberant 2018, the 2019 D'Armailhac wafts from the glass with aromas of violets, blackberries and cassis complemented by subtle hints of licorice, sweet soil tones and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and perfumed, it's fleshy and enveloping, with an ample core of succulent fruit and beautifully polished, powdery tannins." —William Kelley

"This rich and juicy wine is full of black fruits. The tannins are ripe and integrated into the black currant fruitiness. While the tannins currently pack a punch, they will integrate and allow the wine to age."
