René Gabriel, WeinWisser: „Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Warmes, wohlig ausströmendes Bouquet, viel Pflaumen und Dörrfrüchte, Kakao und eine Prise Mokka, aber nur wenig Beerenfrische. Rahmiger Gaumen, viel Souplesse, wirkt burgundisch und ähnelt sehr dem 89er, ist aber bedeutend konzentrierter. 18/20 Punkten, zu trinken 2016–2032.”

Robert Parker: „This may be the finest d’Armailhac I have ever tasted. Made in a textured, full-bodied, sumptuous style, it is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and the balance primarily Cabernet Franc with a tiny dosage of Petit Verdot. It exhibits a deep ruby/purple hue along with floral, red and black currant, cedar, and spice characteristics. Deep, medium to full-bodied, and impressively pure as well as long, it should drink well for 25 years. 90-93 Punkte.”

Winespectator: „Love the minty, floral and dark berry aromas to this young wine. Full-bodied, with supe fine and polished tannins. Long and racy. Wonderful texture. Perhaps the best d´Armailhac ever. 91-94 Punkte.”
