Pauillac, Bordeaux "A firm, dark ruby/purple-colored wine with notes of compost, black currants, espresso roast, and some soy, this medium to full-bodied, relatively powerful and concentrated wine shows elevated levels of tannin which have kept me from pulling the trigger and giving it a higher score. I thought everything seemed better balanced prior to bottling, so perhaps the wine is going through a somewhat angular phase of development. It s certainly a big, bold, rather aggressively tannic style of d’Armailhac. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2019." - Rated 89, Robert Parker "Aromas of blackberries and licorice follow through to a medium-bodied palate, with slightly austere tannins and a fresh finish. Hollow midpalate. Best after 2006. 15,000 cases made. –JS" - Rated 87, Wine Spectator |
