William Kelley
A strong performance from the Côtes de Castillon, the 2021 Clos Puy Arnaud is a blend of 50% Cabernet Franc, 45% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Revealing aromas of dark cherries, cassis, sweet soil tones and spices, it`s medium to full-bodied, deep and lively, with tangy acids and a long, saline finish. 89-91 Points
Neal Martin
The 2021 Clos Puy Arnaud has a backward nose of blackberry and cassis fruit, just slightly stilted compared to others. The palate is medium-bodied with stringy tannins and a little chewy, leading to a muscular finish. Not bad, but it lacks a bit of finesse. 86-88 Points
Antonio Galloni
The 2021 Clos Puy Arnaud is soft, fruity and quite supple, but without the dimensions of the very best years. Red/purplish berry notes, lavender and a kick of blood orange all open with a bit of coaxing. The limits of what was possible in 2021 are evident. 87-89 points
