Clos Puy Arnaud 2005 (750ML)

Good ruby-red. Ripe aromas of black cherry,raspberry and licorice,lifted by a note of violet. Juicy and bright, with lovely cut to the black fruit and violet flavors. Finishes with fi rm but fine tannins.Offers unusual purity and finesse for a Cotes de Castillon wine. -- Stephen Tanzer, Vinous Media

Although the 2005 Clos Puy Arnaud may not be as brilliant as the 2001, it is still a terrific wine. Revealing plenty of crushed rock/mineral characteristics along with hints of black cherries, intense fruit, and a beautiful mouthfeel. - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
