以下是WS與Parker的酒評:
1995 Chateau d'Armailhac

Parker: 89 points, US$27
The 1995 is possibly the finest d'Armailhac I have yet tasted. The blend was 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc, and 32% Merlot. This deep ruby/purple-colored wine possesses low acidity, plenty of sweet tannin, and, in both its aromatics and flavors, gobs of ripe cassis fruit are nicely framed by the judicious use of toasty oak. Flavorful, round, generous, and hedonistic, this is a crowd-pleaser! Anticipated maturity: Now-2012.

Wine Spectator: 92 points, US$20(futures), 01/31/98
Loads of fruit in this wine, with concentrated tobacco, cherry and cedar. Full in body, with big, velvety tannins and a long, succulent aftertaste. Best after 2002.

Decanter magazine: ***, December 1999
Classy, vegetal ripe fruit aromas. Big mouthful, packed with fruit; lovely balance.
