The 2019 Clos Puy Arnaud is fabulous, just as it was in barrel. Plush and beautifully layered, with soft contours and silky tannins. Dark fruit, mocha, cloves, licorice, violets and spice all build as this flamboyant Castillon Côtes De Bordeaux opens with a bit of air. In a word: superb.
Score: 94 points -- Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 2022
