Château d'Armailhac 5emé Cru Classé, Pauillac, 2023, 75cl MASTER_2233 subtle and pureThe 2023 d'Armailhac is an attractive effort, bursting with aromas of cherries, raspberries, licorice and cigar wrapper. Medium to full bodied, fleshy and succulent, with a pretty core of fruit, sweet powdery tannins and lively acids, it's a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdotwhich is a rather high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon for this address.
