Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate #140 (4/2002) Rating: 89 points Drink: 2002-2017
The dense ruby/purple-colored 1999 d'Armailhac displays a gorgeous perfume of spice box, coffee, cedar, licorice, and leather scents. It is sexy, with loads of fruit, medium body, and sweet tannin in the smoky, flamboyant finish. It will drink well for 12-15 years. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2002) Score: 90
Gorgeous aromas of blackberries, violets and currants lead to this full-bodied wine with velvety tannins. Lovely finish delivers a juicy berry aftertaste. Best after 2004. 16,000 cases made. –JS
