2005 Clos Puy Arnaud, Cotes de Castillon, Bordeaux

From Robert Parker, "Clos Puy Arnaud is a seriously-run property that consistently produces one of the top two or three wines from Cotes de Castillon.  It has been very strong in recent vintages.  The 2005 vintage of this wine received 88 points from Robert Parker, "Although the 2005 Clos Puy Arnaud may not be as brilliant as the 2001, it is still a terrific wine.  Revealing plenty of crushed rock/mineral characteristics along with hints of black cherries, intense fruit, and a beautiful mouthfeel, this dense ruby/purple-tinged effort should drink well for 7-8 years."  The list price is $32.
