Description
60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot.
The 2010 Château d’Armailhac is an explosive raspberry flavour sensation! The opposite of the masculine Clerc Milon; it is soft, silky, elegant, curvy, and has an oozing sex appeal; it is luscious! This vintage is probably the wine we’re most looking forward to buying for ourselves. It’s their best to date. There is some fantastic work going on around Mouton these days.

Very ripe and scented and strangely integrated! Sweet yet with real race and freshness. Tannins well covered. Tasted open 8 Apr: Healthy crimson. Sweet, creamy nose. Real lift and polish. Slightly green on the end. The tannins are almost entirely hidden!

Tasted at the château, the 2010 D'Armailhac has a fabulous, opulent bouquet, with black cherries, boysenberry, almond and hints of cooked meat as it dabbles with secondary aromas. The palate is medium-bodied, with bold tannin, grippy in the mouth and immense weight. This is a very structured D'Armailhac, although it probably does not possess the finesse of the 2016, which I tasted alongside. There is great density here, tensile and bold, with a grippy finish. It is a long-term prospect. Tasted April 2017.
