Score 83/100 · Drink 1984-1996, Robert Parker, Jan 1998
Dark ruby, with a rather closed, tight bouquet of currants and plums, this moderately tannic wine shows good, ripe fruit, medium body, and fine length. Lighter than Mouton-Rothschild, but the stylistic similarities are present. Anticipated maturity: Now-1996. Last tasted, 12/84.

About the producer

d'Armailhac
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.
