2001, Armailhac (D')
Armailhac (D'), 5ème Cru Classé

A deep and intense colour with a slightly brickish hue. Initially discreet, the nose opens up to reveal a variety of red fruit and humus aromas together with some subtle biscuity, toasty notes. Well-structured on the palate, its expressive tannins are mingled with a host of red fruit and spice flavours. The long and flavoursome finish plays more on refinement than power.

Harvest: 27 September to 10 October
Varietal Mix: Cabernet Sauvignon 60%, Merlot 40%
