Tasting notes
This big, full-bodied wine has a dark ruby color, with some amber at the edge, a spicy, oaky, black cherry bouquet, medium body, rich, rustic, spicy, long flavors, and a long but slightly astringent finish. Are the tannins too excessive? Anticipated maturity: Now-1999. Last tasted, 3/89.

About the producer

Ch. l’Arrosée was a 9.5-hectare vineyard in Saint-Emilion. After the château was sold to Domaine Clarence Dillon (owners of Ch. Haut-Brion and Ch. la Mission Haut-Brion) in 2013, the wine was discontinued and the grapes are now used for Ch. Quintus.
