The 2010 Château Arnaud is composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc. While still young and quite reserved, it does reveal notes of beautiful dark cherries, tobacco with hints of floral, eucalyptus and fresh earthy minerals. This is refined, elegant and tightly wound with an amazing finish. Give this youngster a chance to develop. The Arnaud family property has been foremost in Saint Estèphe since the 18th century, and at one point belonged to the Estournel. (Drink 2014-2020) - July, 2012 (JD)
