What the critics say:
"Opulent and powerful for d’Armailhac with blackcurrants, blackberries and black olives. Full-bodied, tannic and extremely muscular. Very well done indeed."
"A blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot, the 2017 d’Armailhac is deep garnet-purple in color. It shoots from the glass with vibrant notions of fresh blackcurrants, black cherries, and black raspberries, plus hints of wild sage, pencil lead, cedar chest, and lavender. Light to medium-bodied, the palate is tightly knit and refreshing, featuring fine-grained tannins and delicate red and black fruit layers, finishing with a mineral lift."
"The 2017 Château d'Armailhac is an undeniable success in the vintage. Based on a rough blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot that will see 35% new French oak, this medium to full-bodied, textured, shockingly opulent 2017 offers of terrific notes of black cherries, blackberries, spice box, and earth. With its impressive depth and density, it should drink nicely in its youth yet also cruise in the cellar."
