D’Armailhac 2021

TASTING NOTE BY MSQ

【木桐同門，波爾多嘅「平價法寶」】

D’Armailhac，因為酒標上的酒神圖案又被稱為「單公」。呢個酒莊來自法國波爾多左岸嘅​Pauillac產區，同兩大名莊​Mouton（木桐）、​Lafite Rothschild（拉菲）​​ 係鄰居，風水靚到爆！

​佢屬於​羅斯柴爾德家族​旗下嘅產業，同木桐係同門；雖然係​1855年波爾多評級中嘅五級莊，但因為同木桐共享技術團隊同資源，品質一直穩陣，價錢又親民，非常熱賣。酒莊風格經典又易飲，唔使等幾十年先開瓶，後生幾年已經幾好入口，係認識Pauillac風土嘅性價比之選。

TASTING NOTE BY WINE CRITICS

The 2021 d’Armailhac has turned out beautifully, bursting with attractive aromas of minty cassis and blackberries mingled with notions of pencil shavings and sweet pipe tobacco. Medium to full-bodied, ample and polished, it’s supple and seamless, with a fleshy core of fruit and a licorice-inflected finish. En primeur, I compared this to a modern-day version of the estate’s immensely charming 1999, and anyone who remembers the 1999 will find that the 2021 delivers just as wide a drinking window.
