2005 Ch. d'Armailhac, Pauillac

The château formerly known as Mouton-Baronne-Philippe, but since 1989 called d'Armailhac, is the least known of Baroness Philippine's trio of estates but is arguably the best value.  Rich, dark dried fruits and floral hints on the nose are followed by a delicious palate of surprising depth and intensity. Fresh acidity and excellent concentration of wild berry fruits contributes to the energy of this wine, while the Pauillac earthiness just adds another element to the wine's sexy character. Drinking 2010-2018.
