Pauillac, Bordeaux An exotic, spicy, gorgeously rich blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon and 42% Merlot, the 2000 exhibits a dense garnet/plum/purple color in addition to a big, smoky nose of espresso, nuts, Asian spices, black plums, currants, and leather. Superbly concentrated, with sweet tannin, and a thick, juicy texture, it must be the best d'Armailhac ever made. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2020. Rated 90-93 Robert Parker Big, juicy wine. Intensely grapey. Gushing with fruit. Full-bodied and chewy. Smoky and gamy. Armailhac gets better and better. Score range: 89-91 Wine Spectator Property of the late Philippe de Rothschild since just before the Second World War, the estate was renamed 'Mouton Baronne Philippe' following the death of his wife, Baronne Pauline, in 1976. In the spring of 1991, Baronne Philippe de Rothschild announced that the estate would be known by its original name, Château D'Armailhacq, effective upon the release of the 1989 vintage. Just south of Mouton-Rothschild and north of Pontet-Canet |
