The 2020 d'Armailhac has all the fruit of the en primeur wine, and all the tannin too, almost like a barrel sample. I imagine the 2020 is going to need at least a few years to shed some of that tannic clout. Dark red cherry, red plum, pomegranate, blood orange, iron, white pepper and mint literally saturate the palate. The 2020 is a dense, plush d'Armailhac. It's a real head-turner. 11/2022

Vinous

The 2020 d'Armailhac has a very pure bouquet with blackberry, bilberry, crushed iris flowers and hints of potpourri, tightly-wound at first but opening nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly angular tannins at first, fine acidity, pure blackberry and graphite notes becoming more accentuated towards the finish. That could only come from Pauillac. A classy d'Armailhac that bestows great terroir expression and sense of classicism. 12/2022

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate

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. 04/2023

Couleur sombre, intense et pourpre. Nez très aromatique, fin, au fruité mûr et fumé qui évolue légèrement crémeux à l’agitation du verre. Moelleux en entrée de bouche, juteux au milieu, très aromatique, le vin caresse le palais, gras et sans cesse velouté, avec même une sensation de profondeur dans la persistance. Très belle construction sans angle tannique. Depuis 2015, le vin confirme avoir haussé son statut. Il présente à chaque nouveau millésime une belle qualité régulière et ressort cette année comme mon préféré avec Mouton Rothschild. Assemblage : 59 % cabernet sauvignon, 30 % merlot, 8 % cabernet franc, 3 % petit verdot. Degré d’alcool : 13°3- pH : 3,80.

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. 05/2023
