A seamless effort with beautifully integrated acidity

It reveals the essence of Provence in its dense plum/purple color and powerful aromatics of sweet creme de cassis

d'Armailhac - 2000 (750ml) Bordeaux Blend ripe nose of sweet redA slight downgrade from my original score, this wine is quite evolved, displaying ripe plum, black currant, and chocolate notes as well as hints of cedar and espresso. Soft, round, and close to full maturity, overall it is a medium bodied wine to drink now and over the next decade or more. Robert Parker 89 points
