Château D'Armailhac, 2017 Variant:DUTY PAID revealing complex aromas of blackberriesBelonging to the Baron Philippe de Rothschild stable, this is a wonderful 5th growth that offers a classic nose of black fruits and cherries together with some notes of cinnamon and other spices and finally some liquorice.
