Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau d Armailhac 2020 Pauillac :
Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2020 D'Armailhac strides confidently out of the glass with classic scents of cassis, warm plums and cedar chest, plus wafts of pencil lead, bay leaves and kirsch. The medium-bodied palate has a sturdy frame of chewy tannins and plenty of freshness to support the crunchy black and red fruits, finishing savory. The blend this year is 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, with an alcohol of 13.3%.
James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau d Armailhac 2020 Pauillac Folgendes:
A fresh, layered red with blackberry and chocolate. It’s full and beautiful. Cool finish. Soft tannins spread across the finish. Savory.
Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau d Armailhac:
The 2020 d’Armailhac, raised in 50% new oak with a planned 17-month barrel maturation, is a little deeper in color compared to the Clerc Milon. I find more complexity on the nose of blackberry, briar, cedar and pencil box aromas, less extravagant than previous vintages and more terroir-driven, perhaps. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins that have a little more edge than the Clerc Milon, plus there is slightly more mineralité and depth. In particular, the finish is very harmonious and fans out wonderfully. This Château d’Armailhac is a splendid wine in the making, and one of the best examples from the estate that I have tasted out of barrel.

Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart rauchig-würzig unterlegtes dunkles Waldbeerkonfit, schwarze Kirschen, ein Hauch von Cassis. Saftig, reife frische Kirschen, integrierte reife Tannine, schokoladiger Touch, mineralisch unterlegt, bleibt gut haften, gutes Reifepotenzial, zartes Cassis im Nachhall.
