Chateau d'Armailhac, Pauillac, Bordeaux 2010

Tasting Notes:

The 2016 Le Carillon d'Angelus, which represents a higher percentage of the total production this year, has a tightly wound blackberry and briary-scented bouquet with admirable delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin, harmonious and rounded in style with just the right amount of salinity on the finish to beckon you back for another sip. This is a lovely Deuxième Vin built to give pleasure.

Pairing:

Braised Lamb Shank, Eggplant Parmigiana, Cured Meat

Tasting Notes : 

A deep-purple colour shines from the glass as Le Petit Caillou shows rich aromas of black cherry and plum, accented by cedar, wild herbs, and cocoa powder. The palate is ripe and chewy, with grainy, slightly gritty tannins supporting the medium-bodied structure. 

Food Pairing : 

Beef, Lamb, Game (deer, venison), Poultry
