Tasting notes
Earthy, dark red fruits and cigar wrapper give the wine a nice, savory character. Medium-bodied, soft, and just about ready-to-go, the wine leaves you with crisp red fruits and dusty tannins. Drink from 2023-2035.

The 2020 Arnauld has a clean and well-defined nose with blackberry and bilberry fruit, the oak neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh entry, quite sappy in style with a vivid, lively and quite persistent finish. This is a delicious Haut-Médoc that should age well in bottle.
Full bottle 1,369 g. Certified HVE and Terra Vitis. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot. Dark-berried, lavender-scented nose. Fine, cedary dark fruit, ripe and bedding out the body of the wine but still well-contained within a classic, savoury tannic framework. (TC)
Ripe black cherries, spice box, mocha and earthy undertones here. Medium body. The palate is nicely filled with ripe dark fruit and dusty, velvety tannins. Chocolaty texture and chewy finish. Try in 2025.
