A famous 5th growth Bordeaux from the classic appellation of Pauillac that has undergone many name changes over its life. Starting life as Mouton d'Armailhac before changing in 1956 to Mouton Baron Philippe which changed to Baronne to commemorate the Baron's second wife. In 1991, the Baron's daughter decided to give the Château an original name to separate it from the other Mouton's and Château d'Armailhac was born. Situated across the road from the famous Mouton, the estate is run separately, but with equal care. Wines of great concentration and intensity are produced, as one would expect from such pedigree. The 2009 is the perfect example of this with a wine of fantastic intensity and concentration. One of the finest d'Armailhac's is living memory, swathes of blueberry, roasted meats and espresso coffee characters are present early and will only further develop with careful ageing over the next 20 years.

Monte Ronca’s Amarone consists of the 3 principal local varieties - Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella but the first point of difference is the addition of a small quantity of Teroldego. Teroldego provides more darkness to the colour but also results in greater depth of flavour on the palate. Once harvested, the grapes are placed into small ‘ fruttaio ’ boxes for drying. While most Amarone producers rack-dry their fruit for 6+ months, winemaker Antonio Fattori chooses to dry the grapes for a shorter period of 3–4 months. This achieves all the power and richness that Amarone is renown for but also allows for a vibrancy to shine through the wine. The dried grapes are fermented with natural yeast and are aged for 36 months in 1000-litre wooden barrels. Very deep dark red black colour with a dark red hue. Heady black cherry, morello cherry, liquorice and black plum scents inundate the olfactory senses followed by some dried cherry, cinnamon and spice notes. Rich, thick and dense the palate is layered with a super concentrate of morello cherry, black plum and dried cherry flavours which are underscored by a counter balancing freshness and ripe chewy tannins. Some cinnamon, vanillin spice and earth characters are also evident. Exceptionally powerful and showing no signs of heat it concludes very long and decadent. Drink over the next 6-8 years. Alc. 16%
