Tasting note

酒色深邃幾近黑寶石、邊緣透出櫻桃紅，香氣先是鮮活的黑色與紅色果實，接著有雪茄盒、烟草、香草烘托出的溫暖辛香，以至咖啡、輕微醬油與土地氣息。口感紮實有力，前段圓潤後段被緊緻而有嚼感的單寧托住，橡木味與果味融合良好，收結漫長且厚實。酒莊位於波亞克北部的碎石台地，土壤排水良好、植株密度高且有相當年齡的老藤，釀造上以50%新橡木桶陳釀18個月，整體風格既有力量也展現典雅的產地特徵。輕鬆醒酒一小時，與烤牛肉或野味最合拍。

Deep, almost-black hue with a vivid cherry rim. The nose opens on juicy, fresh dark fruits and red berries, layered with cedar, tobacco, espresso and a spicy, vanilla-tinged oak. On the palate it offers a well-rounded attack that builds into forward, tightly-knit tannins supported by clearly defined oak — flavours of blackcurrant, baked plum and subtle herbaceous notes carry through. 18 months in barrels (50% new) lend structure and a long, powerful, richly textured finish. From a 70-hectare estate on deep gravelly soils and a high-density planting of mature vines, the wine shows Pauillac’s classic refinement and age-worthy concentration.

Winery

Château d'Armailhac 隸屬 Barón Philippe de Rothschild，葡萄園約70公頃，位於波亞克北段的碎石與黏土石灰地帶。園內植株密度高、老藤比例可觀（平均樹齡約46年），部分地塊可追溯至19世紀。採收期通常落在9月底到10月初，釀造流程注重細節：精挑果實、以部分新橡木桶（約一半新桶）陳釀18個月，目的是保留產地風格的優雅與酒體的陳年潛力。

Château d'Armailhac, part of the Baron Philippe de Rothschild portfolio, occupies some 70 hectares in northern Pauillac. Classified in 1855 under the Mouton d’Armailhacq name, the estate sits on deep gravel and clay-limestone pockets that favor refined structure. Vineyards are planted at high density with a significant proportion of older vines; fruit is matured carefully and aged in oak (18 months, 50% new) to produce concentrated, age-worthy wines.
