12 bottles of Chateau D'Armailhac 2006

Property from an English Private Collection

Big, meaty, dense and fleshy nose. The palate has a vivid, vibrant red cherry and blackcurrant fruitiness. Rather dry tannins start to kick in, which along with a firm spiciness and more of that earthy character, makes for a chewy, dense mouthful. Acidity is very good, and this is powerful and quite impressive. (Tom Cannavan, 01/2007)
