Holy crap this wine blew me away. Started off with a bit of an understated nose, but as it opened up in the glass, it was ALL menthol, mint, and eucalyptus. I kid you not, it smelled like I had accidentally dropped a piece of Dentyne Ice gum in the glass. Stunning aromatics. Actually reminds me of a bottle of '05 d'Armailhac I had a few months back because of that menthol on the nose. Balanced and firm on the palate. Drinking really well. Snatch it up if you can find it. — 8 years ago
Much more traditional in style in comparison to the d'armailhac. Much more approachable in its youth. Bright lovely red fruit, highlighted balance and complexities. — 10 years ago
I loved this wine, very light for an 82 Bordeaux. Extremely elegant, reductive, alive ..(leather, strawberries - Château d'Armailhac is the new name) — 10 years ago
