Spicy, tobacco, saddle leather, and ripe black (and red) fruits emerge from the 2005 Château D'Armailhac, a medium to full-bodied, focused Pauillac that has fine tannins, a supple, layered, precise mouthfeel, and a great finish. While it’s clearly drinking well, it is still slightly tight and compact on the palate, so don’t be afraid to give this some air if drinking any time soon.
VINTAGE NOTES: This is a stunning vintage from top to bottom in all appellations and in all price ranges. If you have the money, this is one of the best Bordeaux vintages to lay down in your cellar. These stunning wines will only get better and more expensive. Patience is advised.
