♥ Chateau Clos Puy Arnaud 2005 Cotes de Castillon

Good ruby-red. Ripe aromas of black cherrry, raspberry and licorice, lifted by a note of violet. Juicy and bright, with lovely cut to the black fruit and violet flavors. Finishes with firm but fine tannins. Offers unusual purity and finesse for a Cotes de Castillon wine. 87-90 Points Stephen Tanzer
