Tasting Notes
Robert Parker
Score: 89-92 / 100 Robert Parker2010: A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and the rest Petit Verdot, the 2010 achieved in excess of 14% natural alcohol. It exhibits a dense ruby/purple color along with a pronounced nose of underbrush, cedarwood, licorice and black currants. This attractive, elegant, mid-weight Pauillac should be drinkable early in life and last for 15+ years.
Jancis Robinson
Score: 17 / 20Tasted 17 Feb: 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! Mid weight. I hope to taste this blind later on today
Wine Spectator
Score: 92-95 / 100This has a nice briary core, showing dark fig and plum flavors, with a backdrop of roasted sage and tobacco. Offers good muscle and heft, but also the rounded feel of the house style.
Bibendum
Score: 17 / 2060% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot. Perfumed and floral with lots of sweet black fruit and very ripe tannins. Slightly more restrained than its extrovert sibling Clerc Milon, but still very polished and presentable.
James Suckling
Score: 92-93 / 100Very strong and muscular d'Armailhac with mineral and currant character. Full, linear and toned. Very racy and long. Plenty of finesse too. It's 55 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 29 percent Merlot, 15 percent Cabernet Franc, and 1 Petit Verdot.
