It is a red wine, bottled under a cork closure, which boasts of a captivatingly deep garnet-purple color, a visual treat that is just an introduction to the sensory journey that this wine offers.

Esteemed reviewers have lauded this wine for its complex flavor profile. On the nose, it bursts with aromas of cherries, raspberries, black raspberries, wild strawberries, licorice, dried herbs, and a tantalizing hint of cigar wrapper, inviting you to take a sip. As per James Suckling's review, the palate unveils a full-bodied wine, layered with a velvety texture that feels weightless. It offers a delightful medley of blackcurrants, blueberries, and an unexpected undertone of orange peel.

The Wine Advocate's Robert Parker echoes this sentiment, noting the attractive blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot. This blend manifests as a medium to full-bodied wine, fleshy and succulent, with a sweet powdery tannin structure and lively acids.

She also notes the highest ever percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon for d'Armailhac, adding to its uniqueness.

Jane Anson applauds the high Cabernet content and the layered notes of cassis, crushed mint, liquorice root, and crushed rocks, calling it an excellently precise, structured, and textured Armailhac.

From the praises sung by these esteemed reviewers, it is clear that the 2023 d'Armailhac is a remarkable Bordeaux blend, a testament to the artisanal craft of d'Armailhac. This wine is not just a drink; it's an experience—an adventure of the senses.
