Château Armens Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2000

This Bordeaux was our backup for Christmas lunch and thank god it was as the Gevery-Chambertin was un-drinkable. On the bouquet were aromas of cherries, plum, mineral, cedar, coffee and a touch of spice. The palate was mid-bodied and quite soft and rounded, with rich fruit over some plush-ish tannins. Finish was round and long and quite moreish, which did please our guests.
50+4+13+17+7 = 91/100
