Wine Description

The 2014 Château d'Armailhac presents a deep, dense colour. The refined nose exudes aromas of wild blackberry liqueur and cherry, rounded off by subtle notes of liquorice and spice. On the palate, it shows fine balance with well-structured tannins, enveloped in a richly smooth body with jammy fruit flavours. The finish reveals a wine full of promise, associated with an initial fruit impetus that gives it excellent length.
