The 2024 Château D'Armailhac is rock solid, with a juicy, elegant, very perfumed style that doesn't lack for depth or richness. Ripe red and black fruits, violets, spring flowers, and a kiss of spicy oak all define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied, with a pure, elegant mouthfeel and ripe, polished tannins. It's clearly an outstanding wine that brings more texture and mid-palate fat than most. The 2024 is 72% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% each of Merlot and Cabernet Franc that's resting in 50% new oak, hitting 12.9% alcohol with a pH of 3.69.
