Tasting notes
Dark plum/garnet-colored, with an evolved, mature, cedary, spice box, fruit cake, coffee, smoky, fruit-scented bouquet, this seductive, medium-bodied, fruit-driven 1997 offers plenty of appeal. Drink this spicy Pauillac over the next 7-8 years.

A fresh and perfumed wine with plum and berry character and a hint of currants. Medium-bodied, with velvety tannins and a medium finish. Drink now. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2000.

About the producer

Ch. d’Armailhac is a Pauillac Fifth Growth owned by the Rothschilds, who also own Ch. Mouton Rothschild. Lavished with the same attention to detail and having benefitted from extensive investment in recent years, this estate can offer brilliant value in comparison to its First Growth sibling.
