Das Bouquet vom Clos Puy Arnaud 2023 offenbart Düfte von dunklen Beeren und Kirschen. Der Wein ist samten, fruchtig, präzise und von kompakten Tanninen sowie einer strukturierenden Säure gehalten. Ein eleganter und ausgewogener Wein, den man in seiner Jugend genießen kann.

Flowers, chalk, and vibrant red fruits with a salty edge come through easily. The palate is energetic, with a liberal dose of crushed stones, and black cherries, leaving you with ample fruit, and mint in the finish. The wine blends 55% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink from 2027-2038. 89-91 Pts.

The 2023 Clos Puy Arnaud is a huge, powerful, intense wine with a ton of fruit density. This feels a bit heavy and overdone—unusually so. Dark fruit and mocha linger. We will see where this goes.

Deep dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, delicate edge brightening. Fresh blackberry, black cherry, ripe plum, candied orange zest. Juicy, fine berry fruit, shows energy and freshness, delicate tannins, lively structure, a multi-faceted food companion.

This estate has consistently enhanced its quality over the years, and 2023 marks a peak vintage at this address. The 2023 Clos Puy Arnaud possesses a fresh, dense bouquet with aromas of blueberries, violet, spices, pencil lead and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and dense, deep and concentrated palate framed by perfectly ripe, velvety tannins alongside bright acids that segues into a long, powerful but elegant finish. This blend of 55% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon is a real success.

A medium-bodied red with blackberry and brambleberry character. Some sea salt, too. Round, creamy tannins and a lightly chewy finish. Solid young red for this appellation. From organically grown grapes.
