Château Arnauld 2020 – Haut-Médoc, Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel

The nose is fruity and offers a controlled power, a fine intensity, a good definition as well as concentration. It reveals notes of wild strawberry, bright cherry, small notes of cassis associated with touches of small black berries, violet, hints of Cuben pepper, sweet spices as well as a subtle hint of bergamot and an imperceptible hint of iodine. The mouth is fruity and offers juiciness, gourmandize, rounded, a certain suavity as well as minerality, a fine grain and a fine tension. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy cassis, blueberry, notes of juicy/fresh raspberry associated with touches of cherry flower, lily, toasted almond as well as a fine hint of vanilla, an imperceptible hint of iodine and toasted hazelnut. Good length.
