Beschreibung

William Kelley am 06.04.2023:
The 2020 d'Armailhac is excellent, bursting with aromas of blackberries, violets, burning embers and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy palate that's broad but precise, with powdery tannins and a lively core of fruit. It's a blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot.

Den Chateau d Armailhac 2020 Pauillac beschreibt James Suckling wie folgt:
Bright aromas of currants and raspberries, oranges, and roses. Peach skin. Medium- to full-bodied with creamy and velvety tannins. So much finesse and balance. It’s savory and slightly salty. 59% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot, 8% cabernet franc and 3% petit verdot. Drink after 2027.

James Molesworth
Shows a core of lovely mulberry, cassis and plum reduction flavors that stretch out over a racy graphite note, in turn revealing flashes of anise, apple wood and sweet tobacco. Offers a late tug of warm earth, too. Rock-solid, with an old-school hint. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2026 through 2038.

Peter Moser im Februar 2023
Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, opaker Kern, zarte Randaufhellung. Intensive rote Waldbeerfrucht, Nuancen von Cassis, Limettenzesten, einladendes Bukett. Straff, rote Kirschen, präsente, integrierte Tannine, lebendiger Säurebogen, frisch und gut anhaftend, bereits zugänglich, salziger Nachhall. (2023–2040)

Fassmusterbewertung

Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau d Armailhac 2020 Pauillac :
Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2020 D'Armailhac strides confidently out of the glass with classic scents of cassis, warm plums and cedar chest, plus wafts of pencil lead, bay leaves and kirsch. The medium-bodied palate has a sturdy frame of chewy tannins and plenty of freshness to support the crunchy black and red fruits, finishing savory. The blend this year is 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, with an alcohol of 13.3%.

93-94 Suckling-Punkte für den Chateau d Armailhac 2020

James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau d Armailhac 2020 Pauillac Folgendes:
A fresh, layered red with blackberry and chocolate. It’s full and beautiful. Cool finish. Soft tannins spread across the finish. Savory.

92-94 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau d Armailhac 2020

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau d Armailhac:
The 2020 d’Armailhac, raised in 50% new oak with a planned 17-month barrel maturation, is a little deeper in color compared to the Clerc Milon. I find more complexity on the nose of blackberry, briar, cedar and pencil box aromas, less extravagant than previous vintages and more terroir-driven, perhaps. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins that have a little more edge than the Clerc Milon, plus there is slightly more mineralité and depth. In particular, the finish is very harmonious and fans out wonderfully. This Château d’Armailhac is a splendid wine in the making, and one of the best examples from the estate that I have tasted out of barrel.

Vom Falstaff-Magazin mit 92-94 Punkten bewertet
Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart rauchig-würzig unterlegtes dunkles Waldbeerkonfit, schwarze Kirschen, ein Hauch von Cassis. Saftig, reife frische Kirschen, integrierte reife Tannine, schokoladiger Touch, mineralisch unterlegt, bleibt gut haften, gutes Reifepotenzial, zartes Cassis im Nachhall.

Chateau Haut Bages Liberal 2020 Pauillac

BIO

William Kelley schreibt zum Haut Bages Liberal 2020 Pauillac im April 2023 Folgendes:
The 2020 Haut-Bages-Libéral is supple and seamless, bursting with aromas of sweet dark berries, petals and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate. Succulent and polished, it will offer a broad drinking window. As readers will remember, this wine derives from biodynamically farmed vineyards located on clay-limestone and gravel soils to the north of Château Latour (as well as a parcel of gravel sandwiched between Pichon-Baron and Lynch-Bages).

James Suckling beschreibt ihn im Januar 2023 wie folgt:
Blackcurrant, orange peel and green coffee bean aromas follow through to a full body with medium, round tannins. Citrusy, juicy and rose bush finish. Chewy and intense. Some old vine character with bark and dark mushroom. Solid! One for the cellar. 72% cabernet sauvignon and 28% merlot. From biodynamically grown grapes. Demeter certification. Try after 2027.

Den Chateau Haut Bages Liberal 2020 Pauillac beschreibt Fallstaff wie folgt:
Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Dunkle Waldbeeren, zarte Kräuterwürze, Brombeeren, ein Hauch von Cassis, zarte florale Nuancen, einladendes Bukett. Saftig, elegant und frisch, feine Kirschfrucht, reife, tragende Tannine, zarte Fruchtsüße im Abgang, lebendiger Stil, bereits einwickelt, geprägt von einer angenehmem Säurestruktur, ein zugänglicher, finessenreicher Wein mit dezenter Honignote im Abgang.

Antonio Galloni bewertet des Haut Bages Liberal 2020 sogar noch einen Punkt höher als in der Fassmusterverkostung angepeilt.

Chateau Lynch Bages 2020 Pauillac

James Suckling beschreibt den Chateau Lynch Bages 2020 Pauillac im Januar 2023 wie folgt:
A beautifully layered red with blackcurrant, hazelnut and lead-pencil character and fine, velvety tannins. Full-bodied and reserved. It’s like a tightly knit ball of polished tannins that are cashmere in texture. So very long and impressive. Give this time. A terrific Lynch. Better after 2027.

James Molsworth beschreibt den Chateau Lynch Bages 2020 Pauillac im Januar 2023 wie folgt:
Gorgeous from the start, with cassis and violet notes leading off, followed by additional waves of black cherry and blackberry fruit as well as sweet tobacco and iron. Shows subtle savory and cedar hints that stay in the background, as the iron note pierces through the fruit on the finish. Almost approachable for the fruit, but wait if you can. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2026 through 2040. –JM

William Kelley beschreibt den Chateau Lynch Bages 2020 Pauillac:
The vintage that inaugurated the estate's new state-of-the-art winery, the 2020 Lynch-Bages has turned out very nicely, offering up aromas of crème de cassis and blackberries mingled with notions of pencil shavings, spices and classy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with good concentration, ripe, powdery tannins and a seamless, integrated profile for such a young Lynch-Bages, it shows considerable promise. The blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot incorporates more Merlot than usual, reflecting relative yields in the vintage more than any stylistic shift.

Neal Martin lobt den Lynch Bages 2020 als einfach köstlichen Lynch und bewertet ihn an der oberen Seite seiner Fassmusterwertung.

Vom Falstaff-Magazin beschreibt den Chateau Lynch Bages 2020 Pauillac im April 2023
Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Ein Hauch von Lakritze und schwarzen Kirschen, feine Edelholzwürze, attraktives Bukett. Saftig, balanciert, reife Brombeeren, aber auch rote Früchte, stramme Tannine, zart blättrig im Abgang, noch nicht völlig entwickelt, sicheres Zukunftspotenzial.

Reserve de la Comtesse 2020 Pauillac

Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Reserve de la Comtesse 2020 Pauillac :

Composed of 47% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot, the 2020 Reserve de la Comtesse is redolent of cassis, redcurrant jelly and raspberry coulis, plus suggestions of chocolate box, lilacs and stewed tea, with a waft of unsmoked cigars. The medium-bodied palate delivers mouth-coating, juicy black fruits with a soft texture and seamless freshness, finishing long with a spicy kick. This is a very different style from the grand vin, possessing a more playful, upfront and effortlessly delicious character that truly draws you in!

90-92 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2020

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande:

The 2020 Réserve de Pichon Comtesse is very harmonious on the nose, featuring plenty of blackberry, wild strawberry and light touches of salted licorice and estuarine scents; this is going to be very seductive. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit and fine-grained tannins, not a powerful or deep Deuxième Vin, leading to a poised, quite spicy, peppery finish. This should give 12–15 years of drinking pleasure.

Vom Falstaff-Magazin mit 91-93 Punkten bewertet

Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Mit einem Hauch von Gewürznelken unterlegte dunkle Beerenfrucht, zart nach Lakritze, schwarze Kirschen. Saftig, feine Süße, reife Pflaumen, etwas Zimt, reife Tannine, ein Hauch von Nougat im Abgang, ein vielseitiger, harmonischer Speisenbegleiter.

Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2020 Pauillac

Den Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2020 Pauillac beschreibt William Kelley wie folgt:
The 2020 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is very demonstrative out of the gates, bursting from the glass without any coaxing to exhibit aromas of sweet cassis and blueberries mingled with notions of clove, violets and lilac. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and polished, with a seamless, charming profile that exhibits no hard edges, it concludes with a nicely defined, spice-inflected finish. It's a superb exercise in haut couture winemaking, even if, to my palate, the 2019 offers a deeper dive into the estate's D.N.A.

James Suckling beschreibt den Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2020 Pauillac im Januar 2023 wie folgt:
Aromas of blueberries and blackcurrants with some stone and sandalwood undertones. Medium-bodied with a solid core of fruit and a fresh and delicious finish. Classy tannins that are fine and textured. Such sophistication. Drink after 2027 and onwards.

98 Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck für den Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2020 Pauillac

Den Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2020 Pauillac beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt:
The Grand Vin 2020 Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse De Lalande checks in as 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, and 6% Cabernet Franc that was raised in 60% new French oak. It has classic Pauillac character in its red, blue, and black fruits as well as graphite, cedar pencil, violet, and flower nuances. Seemingly from a cooler vintage with its purity, vibrancy, and focus, it nevertheless is concentrated and has ripe, gorgeous tannins, a great mid-palate, and a finish that keeps you coming back to the glass. A deep, concentrated, flawlessly balanced 2020 that's built for the long haul, it needs a solid decade of cellaring and will be a 50+-year wine. Of the recent trilogy of 2018, 2019, and 2020, director Nicolas Glumineau has been consist in preferring the 2020, although I think at this point the nudge goes to the 2019. Regardless, these are all truly singular, magical wines that every reader will be thrilled to have in the cellar. It's a good time to be a Bordeaux lover!

Den Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2020 Pauillac beschreibt Fallstaff wie folgt:
Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feine Nuancen von Cassis, Brombeeren und Lakritze, zarte Edelholzwürze ist unterlegt, Noten von kandierten Orangenzesten. Saftig, elegant, reife Kirschen, harmonisch und frisch, feine, reife Tannine, schokoladiger Touch im Abgang, zeigt Länge und Reifepotenzial, große Zukunft.

Chateau Duhart Milon 2020 Pauillac

Den Chateau Duhart Milon 2020 Pauillac beschreibt William Kelley wie folgt:
The most underrated wine in the Lafite stable these days has put in another strong performance with the 2020 Duhart-Milon, as this somewhat cooler, later-ripening site is well adapted to warmer vintages. Unfurling to reveal aromas of cassis, plums, cigar wrapper, loamy soil and violets, it's medium to full-bodied, broad and layered, with polished tannins, terrific depth at the core and a long, sapid finish.

Den Chateau Duhart Milon 2020 Pauillac beschreibt James Suckling wie folgt:
A firm and racy Duhart with currants, chocolate and walnuts. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a fresh finish. Lovely subtle fruit. A bright finish. Succulent and refined. Savory. Very, very fine. 72% cabernet sauvignon and 28% merlot. Drink or hold.

94+ Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck für den Chateau Duhart Milon 2020 Pauillac

Den Chateau Duhart Milon 2020 Pauillac beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt:
The 2020 Château Duhart-Milon is a much more concentrated, serious wine. Based on 72% Cabernet Sauvignon and 28% Merlot hitting 12.5% natural alcohol, with a pH of 3.91, its deep ruby/plum color is followed by medium to full-bodied aromas and flavors of darker currants, cherries, damp earth, ripe tobacco, and graphite. Beautifully balanced, elegant, and straight-up seamless, it shows the classic, focused style of the vintage and will be a modern day classic from this terroir.

Den Chateau Duhart Milon 2020 Pauillac beschreibt Fallstaff wie folgt:
Kräftiges Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Ockerrandaufhellung. Reife Zwetschken, Brombeerkonfit, kandierte Orangenzesten, etwas Nugat, einladendes Bukett. Saftig, elegant, feine Kirschen, schokoladige Textur, feine Tannine, ausgewogen, mineralisch und anhaftend, feine salzige Nuancen im Abgang, gutes weiteres Entwicklungspotenzial. (2025–2045)

Carruades de Lafite Rothschild 2020 Pauillac

Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Carruades de Lafite Rothschild 2020 Pauillac :

Deep purple-black in color, the 2020 Carruades de Lafite, like its big sibling, is a little youthfully shy to begin, soon unfurling to offer notes of Morello cherries, raspberry leaves, baked blackberries and spice box, plus suggestions of pencil lead, lavender and Provence herbs. The medium-bodied palate is chock-full of juicy black fruits, framed by velvety tannins and tons of freshness, finishing long and lifted. This 2020 is a blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot.

96-97 Suckling-Punkte für den Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2020

James Suckling schreibt zum Carruades de Lafite Rothschild 2020 Pauillac Folgendes:

This is very classically structured with a palate that starts off slowly. Full-bodied and chewy with a soft, creamy texture and a long finish. Savory. A touch austere.

89-91 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2020

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Lafite Rothschild:

The 2020 Carruades de Lafite is clean and precise on the nose, the undergrowth/autumn leaf scents permeating the predominantly black fruit, and light peppermint aromas unfurling with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Quite linear in style, particularly toward the finish, where it seems to not want to put a foot wrong. A Deuxième Vin that just needs to loosen its tie and let it all hang out a bit more.

93 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den d´Armailhac 2016

Neal Martin im Januar 2019:
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.

Lisa Perrotti Brown im November 2018:
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!

92 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau d Armailhac 2016

Antonio Galloni im Januar 2019:
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.

Verkostungsbericht vom 03. Februar 2019:
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.

This is incredibly powerful and structured with so much tannin backbone and length. yet it’s cool and fresh with a compact palate and great length. Muscular.

James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Lynch Bages 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:
Vibrant, with a violet and cassis lead-in that then expands to include steeped black cherry and plum fruit as well as extra savory, iron and licorice root notes. Nice latent grip too, with a mouthwatering tug of earth at the very end. The fruit is so vibrant, it's a tease now, but there's structure here for the long haul, so be patient. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2025 through 2040. –JM

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Lynch Bages 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:
Composed of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Lynch-Bages was aged in 75% new barriques. Deep garnet-purple in color, it soars out of the glass with a magnificently expressive nose of blueberry compote, black cherry preserves and blackcurrant pastilles, plus suggestions of dark chocolate, licorice, tar and violets with a waft of hoisin. The medium to full-bodied palate is just as impactful as the nose, coating the mouth with juicy black berry and spicy layers, supported by firm, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long with a refreshing earthiness coming through at the end.

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Lynch Bages 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:
An utterly fabulous wine, the 2018 Lynch-Bages captures all of the richness and generosity that make the year so appealing, and yet doesn’t stray too far from its classic feel. Rose petal, lavender, spice, sweet red berry fruit and mint are all beautifully lifted in the glass. Racy and silky to the core, the 2018 is a real head-turner from the very first taste. All the elements fall into place effortlessly. Readers will have a very hard time keeping their hands off this jewel of a wine.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 D’Armailhac (a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot) hits the ground running with wonderfully open-knit, flamboyant scents of Morello cherries, black raspberries, blackcurrant jelly and rose oil, leading to an undercurrent of cinnamon toast, aniseed and mossy tree bark. The medium to full-bodied palate is charged with energy and expressiveness, delivering red and black berry layers with loads of spicy sparks, framed by plush tannins, finishing long and fragrant.

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau d Armailhac 2018 Paulliac wie folgt:
The 2018 d'Armailhac is bright, fresh and so inviting, just as it was en primeur. Sweet red cherry fruit, cedar, spice, tobacco and anise add lovely aromatic complexity. All of the intensity of the year comes through nicely and yet the personality of Armailhac is evident also. I would cellar the 2018 for at least a few years, to allow some of the baby fat to melt away. There is a bit more breadth and richness that is the result of yields that were just 32 hectoliters per hectare as opposed to the more typical 42 or so. It was a vintage marked by heat stress, small berries and lower juice to skin ratio, as well as some parcels affected by mildew.

Chateau d’Armailhac 2019 Pauillac

James Suckling über den Chateau d Armailhac 2019 Pauillac:
A solid, linear red with a beautiful core of fruit and firm tannins, showing blackcurrants and finesse. Full and compact. It’s very fresh and aromatic with violets and hints of spices. Clean and vivid at the end, 62% cabernet sauvignon, 27% merlot, 9% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot. Try after 2025.

William Kelley im April 2022:
More classically proportioned than the exuberant 2018, the 2019 D'Armailhac wafts from the glass with aromas of violets, blackberries and cassis complemented by subtle hints of licorice, sweet soil tones and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and perfumed, it's fleshy and enveloping, with an ample core of succulent fruit and beautifully polished, powdery tannins.

Jeb Dunnuck im April 2022:
BEST EVER!
Based on 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot, the 2019 Château D'Armailhac showed beautifully from barrel two years ago, and it doesn’t disappoint now from bottle. Despite the high Merlot content, it has a firmer, focused, youthful style that's going to benefit from short-term cellaring. Giving up plenty of ripe black cherry, mulberries, and cassis-like fruit as well as textbook Pauillac lead pencil, forest floor, and tobacco, it's medium to full-bodied, has good mid-palate density, subtle background oak, ripe yet building tannins, and a great finish. It shows the vintage's more elegant, classic style yet doesn't lack for concentration or length. It's going to benefit from just 3-4 years of bottle age and drink fabulously well for two decades. It's the finest d’Armailhac I've tasted.

Castello di Ama Chianti Classico Gran Selezione San Lorenzo 2019

Castello di Ama Chianti Classico Gran Selezione San Lorenzo 2021

Benannt nach dem malerischen Tal von San Lorenzo - geprägt von Finesse, Eleganz, Intensität, Länge und Frische

James Suckling im August 2024:

Das ist wirklich parfümiert und wunderschön, mit schwarzen Kirschen, schwarzen Johannisbeeren und Veilchen. Vollmundig mit völlig integrierten Tanninen und einer herrlichen Präsenz, die ziemlich spektakulär ist. Wunderbares Finish. Geben Sie dies drei oder vier Jahre. Versuchen Sie nach 2027.

PLATZ 13 der TOP 100 Liste der WINES of the WORLD

Monica Larner im Juli 2024 zum Castello di Ama Chianti Classico Gran Selezione San Lorenzo 2019:

Dieser Wein stellt eine Auswahl der besten Sangiovese aus verschiedenen Parzellen mit einer winzigen Zugabe von Merlot und Malvasia Nera dar. Das Castello di Ama 2021 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione San Lorenzo braucht ein paar zusätzliche Momente, um sich im Glas zu öffnen, aber im Gegensatz zum La Casuccia, das sich zurückhält, kommt dieser Wein schnell genug in vollem Gange. Das Geschmacksprofil des Weins ist ein wenig lacker und voller, und dies könnte mit den warmen Vintage-Bedingungen in Verbindung gebracht werden. San Lorenzo ist ein großzügiger Wein, und es ist eine Flasche, die man mittel- oder langfristig genießen kann.

Othmar Kiem im Oktober 2024:

Leuchtendes, mittleres Rubinrot mit aufhellendem Rand. In der Nase sehr elegant und filigran nach Kirsche, Preiselbeeren sowie etwas Zedernholz, ganz leicht rauchig. Am Gaumen sehr präzise, angenehm saftig mit feinkörnigem Gerbstoff und toller Länge.
