Château d'Armailhac sits next door to Mouton Rothschild in Pauillac and has belonged to the same family since Baron Philippe de Rothschild bought it in 1933. It is a Fifth Growth in the 1855 classification, and for a few decades it even carried the Mouton name before going back to d'Armailhac in 1989.

The 2019 is 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, picked between 19 September and 9 October after a hot, sunny summer. It's a very promising vintage: rich and deeply colored, with close-knit, satin-smooth tannins.

Deep garnet in the glass. Black fruit, vanilla, pepper and mild spice on the nose, a creamy middle of black fruit and chocolate, then violets and liquorice on a long finish.

If Mouton Rothschild is out of reach, this is the same owners and a neighboring vineyard for a fraction of the price. It drinks well now and will keep into the late 2030s.

Decant it an hour ahead and serve it with roast lamb, ribeye or an aged hard cheese.

Awards

94 Wine Spectator
Wine Spectator: "racy, chalky minerality that runs amid a core of steeped plum and black currant fruit." Cedar, black tea and savory notes carry a long finish, with real energy in the fruit. Wine Spectator suggests drinking it from 2024 through 2040, so it is ready to open now and will keep for well over a decade.

94 James Suckling
James Suckling: "solid, linear red with a beautiful core of fruit and firm tannins." He picks out blackcurrant, violets and spice, with compact tannins leading to a clean, vivid finish. He recommends trying it after 2025, which puts it in a good place to drink now with an hour in a decanter.

94 Jeb Dunnuck
Jeb Dunnuck: "It's the finest d'Armailhac I've tasted." He describes a firm, youthful, focused wine with black cherry, mulberry and cassis, plus classic Pauillac lead pencil and tobacco. He suggested three to four years in bottle from release and expects it to drink well for two decades.

93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Wine Advocate: "More classically proportioned than the exuberant 2018." William Kelley notes violet, blackberry and cassis with hints of licorice and warm spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied and velvety, with polished, powdery tannins framing the fruit.
