Chateau d’Armailhac 2014 combines pure cassis and blackberry fruit with hints of spice and subtle anise, framed by firm yet refined tannins and a streak of chalky minerality. Medium to full-bodied and focused, it shows both juiciness and structure, promising greater complexity with a few more years in bottle.

Château d’Armailhac is a classic Pauillac fifth growth from the Rothschild family, typically Cabernet Sauvignon–led with an unusually high proportion of old-vine Cabernet Franc that lends fragrance and finesse. Grown on deep gravel and clay-limestone soils bordering Château Mouton Rothschild, it produces an elegant yet structured wine with forward dark fruit, graphite/lead-pencil notes, and solid ageing potential while remaining relatively approachable in its youth.
