Château D’Armailhac 5Eme Grand Cru Classé, Pauillac 2010

60% Cabernet Sauvignon
23% Merlot
15% Cabernet Franc
2% Petit Verdot

Dense, juicy and inviting, with bouncy briar, blackberry, steeped black currant and melted black licorice notes framed by roasted apple wood and graphite notes. The finish courses along with good definition. Energetic and tempting, but the gripping, iron-laden finish will benefit from cellaring.
