Château d'Armailhac 5éme Cru Classé Pauillac 2006
The Château d'Armailhac 5éme Cru Classé 2006 is a classic vintage, producing a beautifully coloured wine, deep red, fresh in style and with a well-defined, solid structure. A varietal blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (64%), Merlot (20%), Cabernet Franc (15%) and Petit Verdot (1%), the powerful nose displays a subtle mix of ripe red fruit and the toast and vanilla notes of attractive oak, now beginning to merge into the texture. Château d’Armailhac 2006 shows nice construction on the palate, with a solid attack that leads into a body of good depth and considerable refinement. The tannins are silky, the overall impression one of great class, with attractive fruit set off by subtle oak, building to a long and elegant finish.
