Wine Description
The 2022 vintage of Château D'Armailhac presents a deep, vibrant ruby colour in the glass. Aromatically complex, it opens with blackcurrant, ripe plum, and hints of violets, followed by undertones of graphite and tobacco leaf. On the palate, the wine is medium to full bodied with refined tannins and a structured core. Flavours of dark berries, crushed stones, and cedar lead to a persistent, harmonious finish.
