The Wine Independent, March 2024

A blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2019 d’Armailhac has a deep garnet color, with a touch of purple. It gallops out with open-knit, flamboyant scents of black...

Decanter, January 2022

Wonderful florality on the nose, perfumed and full of black cherries. Great freshness here, such good juice content, immediately so alive and fresh, there is a real buzz to this wine with some creamy/chalky edges that are...

A solid, linear red with a beautiful core of fruit and firm tannins, showing blackcurrants and finesse. Full and compact. It’s very fresh and aromatic with violets and hints of spices. Clean and vivid at the end, 62%...

Deep ruby in colour, smoked oak on the nose, giving power and tannic frame without sacrificing the salinity and florality that is so present in Armailhac. Cassis, loganberry, cigar box, muscular tannins, cocoa bean, ash...

jebdunnuck.com, April 2022

Based on 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot, the 2019 Château D'Armailhac showed beautifully from barrel two years ago, and it doesn’t disappoint now from bottle. Despite the...

Wine Spectator, January 2022

Features a racy, chalky minerality that runs amid a core of steeped plum and black currant fruit, with lively cedar, black tea and savory nuance all around. Sneaky long too, thanks to its mineral thread. Cabernet...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, March 2022

Medium-bodied, soft, fresh, crisp and vibrant, the wine is packed with dark currants, freshness, tobacco wrapper, forest leaf, blackberries and peppery spices. Soft, lifted, balanced and fresh, the wine finishes with...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2022

More classically proportioned than the exuberant 2018, the 2019 D'Armailhac wafts from the glass with aromas of violets, blackberries and cassis complemented by subtle hints of licorice, sweet soil tones and warm spices...

Vinous, February 2022

The 2019 d'Armailhac requires a few minutes to open up. It has an intense bouquet of blackberry and small black cherries, iodine and crushed violet, plus a faint hint of tobacco (less than last year). The palate is...

Wine Enthusiast, October 2022

Full of ripe black fruits, the wine has great structure and depth. Its density is palpable with richness and tannins showing strongly. The juicy finish lifts everything. Roger Voss

The 2019 d'Armailhac is a Bordeaux blend hailing from the prestigious Pauillac region in Bordeaux, France. Composed primarily of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, this wine is celebrated for its structured elegance and vibrant character.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, also scoring it 93 points, describes the wine as "more classically proportioned" than its 2018 counterpart. The Advocate's William Kelley highlights its "aromas of violets, blackberries, and cassis," with a "velvety and perfumed" profile that is both "fleshy and enveloping."

Jeb Dunnuck echoes high praise with 94 points, describing a "firmer, focused, youthful style" that benefits from short-term cellaring. He emphasizes the wine's "ripe black cherry, mulberries, and cassis-like fruit" with "textbook Pauillac" characteristics of lead pencil and tobacco.
