ArmAs Karmrahyut Reserve 2015
The ArmAs Karmrahyut Reserve 2015 is a truly exceptional Armenian red wine hailing from the striking, high altitude volcanic vineyards of the Aragatsotn province. Crafted entirely from the rare native Karmrahyut grape, this spectacular red is famous for its natural power and immense structure. Because it has enjoyed over a decade of careful ageing since the harvest, it is now drinking at its absolute peak. The extended time in the bottle has beautifully softened the naturally robust tannins, turning a once formidable pour into something wonderfully silky and polished. In the glass, it delivers an intensely coloured character with an inviting nose of wild cranberry, dried lavender, and dark cherry, perfectly balanced by mature layers of savoury balsamic spice and leather. Because it is grown on severe volcanic soils, it retains a brilliant, focused energy that keeps the wine feeling incredibly vibrant despite its age. It is a spectacular, beautifully evolved wine that drinks brilliantly alongside roasted lamb, slow cooked venison, or a hearty winter stew.
