Reviews
Wine Advocate 89
A dense plumpurple color is followed by a supple, evolved, medium-bodied wine revealing an elegant bouquet of red and black currants, charcoal, toast and earth. Enjoy this impressive 2008 over the next 12-15 years.

Warm tobacco, mulled plum and dark fig notes move through this medium-weight offering, with rounded edges, but good bass notes of loam and iron keep it honest on the finish. Drink now through 2016.

Tasting notes
Color: A deep red with violet highlights, Chateau d'Armailhac 2008 is a wine in the classic mould.Nose: Displays fruity morello cherry aromas lifted by delicate touches of roasted coffee and vanilla.
Palate: From a forthright and elegant attack, the palate develops red fruit flavours underpinned by highly elegant, silky tannins.
Round and full-bodied, the wine offers a long and lingering finish.
