Château D'Armailhac, 2017 Variant:DUTY PAID white peach and chalky mineralityBelonging to the Baron Philippe de Rothschild stable, this is a wonderful 5th growth that offers a classic nose of black fruits and cherries together with some notes of cinnamon and other spices and finally some liquorice. On the palate it is so well balanced and the ripe tannins don't interfere with the ripe fruit flavours. Great length in the finish, this is deigned for food, especially some fine beef or game.
