D'Armailhac Pauillac 2024

Description

Floral and fruity, smells quite tangy - nicely scented though, really perfumed. Zingy, really alive and focussed in the glass. Almost sour but stays the right side of too tart with lift and focus. Not as much weight as some but the tannins are really fine and this has a menthol and mineral element. Vibrant and vivid. Focussed and streamlined in one single straight line with tension and a mineral bite. Light but elegant with a lifted finish. Ageing 50% new barrels, 18 months. 3.69pH. Drinking window: 2029-2042.
