Clos Puy Arnaud (Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux)
A bit reserved, so it will take a few years in the cellar or decanting to bring out its character. When that happens you will find load of fresh, soft, mineral driven red fruits, herbs and licorice to accompany all the sweet red berries. More stoic than showy, give this a few years of aging before popping a cork. Drink from 2022-2033. 2,733 Views Tasted Mar 29, 2022Round, fruity and with a strong limestone essence, offering ample juicy plums with the essence of crushed rocks on the palate, and in the finish. 88-90 Pts 3,300 Views Tasted Jun 28, 2020 |
