Abundant tannin in addition to a deep ruby/purple hue superb purity and a lovely texture are found in this delicious Pauillac. One of the finest d'Armailhacs I have ever tasted it is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon 29% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot that achieved an amazing 13.3% natural alcohol. Aromas of black currants creamy oak and earth emerge from this medium to full-bodied effort. It should be drinkable in 4-5 years and will last for two decades or more. 90-93 Points Wine Advocate
