2019 | D`Armailhac | Pauillac (Half Bottle)

The nose exudes intense black fruit aromas enhanced by notes of vanilla, pepper and mild spice. From a structured and sappy attack, the mid-palate reveals a creamy, satin-smooth body with black fruit and chocolate flavours. Perfectly integrated, smooth and well-rounded tannins linger on a pleasant touch of fruit. Floral and liquorice notes usher in a long and elegant finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: This rich and juicy wine is full of black fruits. The tannins are ripe and integrated into the black currant fruitiness.

• James Suckling: A solid, linear red with a beautiful core of fruit and firm tannins, showing blackcurrants and finesse. Full and compact. It’s very fresh and aromatic with violets and hints of spices.
