Château d’Armailhac Pauillac 1855 5ième Cru 2020

Nuanced and finessed, an understated power that delivers top notes of violet and peony, showcasing the balance and freshness of 2020 at this property, and carving out its difference from siblings Mouton and Clerc Milon. Saline kick on the finish, and a wave of campfire smoke. Harvest September 10 to 29, 50% new oak for ageing. Last vintage in the old cellar at this château, and last full vintage of Jean-Paul Voelert as director.
