Product information

Tasting note: Château d'Armailhac 1992 (Pauillac, Bordeaux)

The 1992 d'Armailhac comes from a difficult Bordeaux vintage, characterised by cool weather and humidity. Nevertheless, it shows an astonishing drinkability and typical Pauillac flavour.

Sensory analysis (with good storage)

Colour:

Medium-intense garnet red with orange-brown reflections - already advanced in maturity.

Nose:

Classic Pauillac aromas: cassis, dried plum, cedar, pencil minerality.
Tertiary development: Tobacco, leather, damp leaves, a light truffle note.
Woody notes: Vanilla, roasted coffee beans, subtle smoky spice.
Rather restrained overall, but with typical Bordeaux character.

Palate:

Light to medium-bodied, with already softly polished tannins.
Acidity dominates slightly - typical of the cool 1992 vintage.
Flavours of ripe blackcurrant, dried herbs, black pepper and a slightly bitter cocoa note.
Finish: Moderately long, with a pleasant spiciness (pepper, iron).

Overall impression:
A light but characterful Pauillac - not a powerful wine, but with typical terroir charm.

Rating & ageing potential

Parker (RP): 85/100 ("A pleasant, albeit light Pauillac")
Drinking window: Now - 2027 (already fully mature, should not be stored for long).
Decant: 20-30 minutes to open up the flavours.

Serving recommendation:

Roast duck breast with orange sauce
Lamb chops with rosemary potatoes
Mild cheeses such as Camembert or Brie

Conclusion:

An honest, mature Bordeaux from a weak vintage - not spectacular, but with a typical Pauillac profile. Ideal for unpretentious enjoyment.

Tip: If you have a bottle, open it soon.
