Château d’Armailhac 2023 – Pauillac, Cru Classé

A lovely aromatic, spicy nose, which offers a fine concentration, a little toasted side, almost a very discreet Mediterranean side in the background. It expresses notes of blackberry, small dense black fruits and more slightly – graphite, associated with touches of small roasted-elegant red fruits, as well as hints of pepper and a discreet hint almost aromatic herbs. The palate is nicely juicy, elegant, gourmet, and offers suppleness, suavity, delicacy, a nice sapid side, stretched, elegant, classic in freshness and elegance. It expresses notes of juicy/fresh blackcurrant, small fresh/dense red fruits and more slightly – graphite, mocha, associated with touches of toast, juicy/fresh red plum, as well as hints of racy minerality and a hint of toast, infusion in the background and an imperceptible hint almost aromatic herbs. Good length. Savory and supple tannins, elegant, tasty. A subtle powdery/mellow hint on the persistence/retro. Very fresh, savoury.
