Juicy Pauillac fruit leads the way here, with blackcurrant, plum and dark cherry layered over gentle smoke, spice and a touch of coffee bean, all wrapped in velvety yet still firm tannins. Chateau d'Armailhac 2015 feels both polished and inviting, already showing its charm but with a cool, slatey backbone and freshness that promise more complexity as that dry core relaxes in the cellar.

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.
