Chateau D'Armailhac, Pauillac 2011

TASTING NOTES A deep, dark colour. The nose reveals fruit aromas, especially blackberry and cherry, combined with roasted, toasted notes. The powerful, fruit-driven palate reveals an attractively close-knit structure of silky, creamy tannins. The long finish lingers on slightly oak flavours. A classic vintage with plenty of ageing potential. DESCRIPTION Fine weather returned to the Médoc in early September and bright sunshine prevailed throughout the two weeks of the harvest, which began on 12 September. These auspicious conditions were extremely beneficial, allowing the grapes to ripen fully. Picking ended on 28 September. Low yields, especially at Mouton, have produced structured, deep and very fresh wines. INFORMATION DETAILS Alcohol: 13.5% Cabernet Sauvignon 57% Merlot 28% Cabernet Franc 13% Petit Verdot 2%
