Château Mouton d'Armailhac--Vintage 2000
Pauillac, 5me Cru Classé
Tasting note: This continues to be one of the most seductive and luscious d'Armailhacs I have ever tasted. It may be my favorite vintage of d'Armailhac. Opaque purple-colored, this blend of 58 Cabernet Sauvignon and 42 Merlot has surprisingly good acidity with the high Merlot content and high tannin, but an expressive, opulent mid-texture and loads of charcoal-infused, cedary, black currant fruit intermixed with spice box, dried herbs, and espresso notes. The wine is full-bodied, sweet, and expansive. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2020. 91 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 146 (Apr 2003)
