Description

One of the most seductive and luscious d'Armailhacs I have ever tasted, the 2000 is a blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon and 42% Merlot. It boasts a saturated purple color along with smoky, licorice-infused, cedary, black currant-scented aromas with plenty of toasty oak. Dense, opulent, seamless, and medium to full-bodied with sweet tannin, it has more volume, depth, and power than either the 2001 or the 1999. Anticipated maturity: now-2016. Last tasted, 1/03.

Score: 91 Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book (4), December 2003
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.

Score: 90/91 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (139), February 2002
An exotic, spicy, gorgeously rich blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon and 42% Merlot, the 2000 exhibits a dense garnet/plum/purple color in addition to a big, smoky nose of espresso, nuts, Asian spices, black plums, currants, and leather. Superbly concentrated, with sweet tannin, and a thick, juicy texture, it must be the best d'Armailhac ever made. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2020.

Score: 90 James Suckling, Wine Spectator (Mar 31, 03), March 2003
Score: 89/91 James Suckling, WineSpectator.com, January 2003
Pretty unevolved crimson in hue though the rim is starting to fade. Hint of buckwheat on the nose. A little jagged next to the completeness of the Tour Haut-Brion. Bloody and quite dry and solid on the finish. The tannins are more rustic than the Tour Haut-Brion. Relatively light. Good balance. Drink 2010-2018. Date tasted 6th May 09.
