The 2016 d’Armailhac. which was bottled in May 2018. has an elegant bouquet that unfolds in the glass. offering blackberries. briar and a touch of cedar and mint. The palate is medium-bodied with dense tannin. grippy in the mouth. and quite voluminous. with perhaps more density on the solid. almost broad-shouldered finish compared to the Clerc-Milon. This fulfills all my expectations from my barrel tasting and is quite simply one of the best d’Armailhac wines ever made.

Deep garnet-purple colored. the 2016 D'Armailhac opens with gregarious crème de cassis. blackberry pie and mulberries scents with hints of chocolate box. roses and charcoal with a waft of dried sage. Medium-bodied. the palate has a rock-solid frame of firm. grainy tannins and wonderful freshness. finishing long and earthy.
INFO: In der Historie des Wine Advocate gab es bis dahin noch nie einen besseren Chateau d´Armailhac, der JG 2016 übetrifft noch einmal die Weine der Jahre 2009 / 2010 und 2015. Das ist ein Statement!

The 2016 d'Armailhac is powerful and dense. just as it was from barrel. Readers will have to give the 2016 at least a few years in bottle. as the tannins are imposing. Dark red plum. licorice. spice. iron. game and scorched earth all give d'Armailhac its distinctive savory flavor profile that is quite appealing. Time in the glass brings out additional layers of nuance that complete the wine nicely.

This is a really driven d’Armailhac showing blackcurrants and fruit tea with hints of bark on the nose and palate. Full-bodied. very firm and structured with a long and powerful finish. Direct and linear. Try after 2023.

The 2016 D'Armailhac is a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon. 28% Merlot. 8% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot that was picked between 27 September and 14 October. The bouquet is very impressive. typical d'Armaihlac in terms of the opulence and flamboyance with lush black cherry and boysenberry fruit. a subtle floral note developing with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a crisp and tensile entry; there is immense purity here with some lovely blue fruit appearing on the finish. This is a d'Armailhac that is emboldened by unprecedented tannic structure that gives it real backbone and a sense of authority. Quite simply. this is one of the best wines of Château D'Armailhac that I have tasted. somehow not a million miles away from Grand Puy Lacoste in style.

This is really tannic and muscular for d’Armailhac. Perhaps the most powerful ever. Full and chewy yet balanced and polished. Very. very impressive. Greatest ever?

Inviting. with notes of currant preserves and cherry sauce giving way to taut charcoal and singed alder accents. The chalky finish is a bit tight. but the stuffing is there. This has really good energy. —J.M.
