The wine shows a deep red purple color and intense aromas of black fruits (blackcurrant, black cherry) with hints of liquorice. Very fruity and well-balanced. It is powerful and well structured in the mouth with round and silky tannins, ripe flavors of black fruits. Strong and a slightly spicy finish.
The wine pairs well with game meat and beef on the grill.

"Made from 100% Merlot, the 2016 Chateau des Arnauds is a medium-bodied, nicely textured, undeniably delicious red that has classic chocolaty dark fruits and tobacco aromas and flavors. It’s not going to make old bones but is a juicy, well-made bistro drinker to enjoy over the coming 3-6 years."

"The 2015 Chateau des Arnauds is similar to the 2016 but more evolved, with a riper, sexier style. It too is rock solid and ideal for drinking any time over the coming 3-5 years."
