Château d’Armailhac Pauillac 1855 5ième Cru 2015
This has a lovely deep ruby colour, and plenty of sappy energy in its tannic frame and reach, a little softer than some Pauillac 2015s at this stage. Refined tannins, charming, with a layering of dark fruit and undergrowth that slowly steals up on you. Jean-Paul Voelert technical director. Harvest September 16 to October 5. 33% new oak – the last vintage before new oak rises to today’s 50%. A signficant year in the Mouton stable, as Baroness Philippine died in August 2015.
