Tasting notes
A deep ruby color and reluctant aromatics suggest a wine in a dormant state. On the palate, the wine offers little charm, but it does possess dense, medium-bodied, concentrated, but closed and tannic flavors. The wine should evolve well, although the tough tannin apparent after bottling could prove troublesome in 7-8 years. Give the 1994 L'Arrosee 2-4 more years of cellaring; it should last for 15 years.

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.
