Château d'Armailhac Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2016 (6000ml)

Matt

Coiled as hell but a long decant gave way to an awesome and a more classic (to me) Bordeaux. Its structured and tannic with a great spine of acid to it, however the dense brambly fruit holds up. Beautiful. Layers of gravel, turned earth, cedar and tobacco below it all. 20+? Should be stellar.

Just tasting this after being opened on June 21st, 2019. Supposedly the cellars will eventually be renovated. South facing vineyards. Less fresh and less precise than Clerc Milon 2016.

Beautiful bright red florals nose. Bright light & dark ripe, red fruits. Stones, rich earth, showing lots of wood early, great acidity and nicely polished finish.

I thought this was a little thin. But certainly clean and bright

Perfect example and 2015 is ready to drink now.

After 1.5hr decant, right but beginning to express itself. The fruit is there, but a bit muted at this point, cassis, black currants. Gravely, softened but strong tannins with a tight acidic backbone. This is gonna be really good in 10 years.

Part of Costco package. These are pretty good wines but I think they should age a bit.

Joe Weinberger

Excellent—just a baby. Would love to see where this heads in 10-20 years.

This. Needs. Time. Wether in a decanter or in a cellar. Def not pop and pour kinda stuff.

Josh Gimpelson

Good stuff
