The 2001 Armaleo is slightly less impressive, but still a highly pleasurable example of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Intense and with much vanilla on the nose, its forceful berry, cedar, and mineral flavors and its continuity of flow confirm this producer’s talents in the vineyard and in the cellar. Only a slight dryness on the close prevents the score from going higher.
