The color is deep and dense. The highly refined nose exudes wild blackberry liqueur and cherry aromas, rounded off by subtle notes of licorice and spice. The palate shows fine balance and the tannins are well-structured, enfolded in a richly smooth body with jammy fruit flavors. The finish reveals a wine full of promise, associated with an initial impetus from the fruit which gives it excellent length.

Chateau d'Armailhac Description
An 1855 Classified Growth, Chateau d'Armailhac perfectly illustrates the style of the Pauillac appellation. The wine is defined by a kind of elegant classicism, discernible whatever the vintage.
James Suckling: 94 Points
This is very tannic yet polished and firm with currants, bark, and stones. Full-bodied and muscular and linear. Love the length. Beautiful.
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2014 d'Armailhac is bright, precise and finely sculpted. Expressive red stone fruit, flowers, mint, chalk and citrus abound in this vibrant, beautifully delineated Pauillac. Open-knit and expressive, with good depth and silky tannins, the wine exudes class. The fresh, invigorating style is classic 2014. This is a lovely showing.
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
Sometimes seen as the junior estate in the Mouton-Rothschild stable, this property is now showing its own fine character. The wine is juicy with crisp fruit and soft tannins. It is in a rounded generous style that will allow it to be drinkable relatively soon. Drink starting from 2020.
Wine Spectator: 91 Points
Fresh and pure, but not shy on depth, offering an ample core of cassis and blackberry purée flavors. There's a fine chalky minerality throughout, but overall the structure is polished. Anise and spice notes add range.
