It has been many years since l'Arrosee made a wine this brilliant. Always one of the more delicate Burgundian-styled St.-Emilions the 2009 exhibits seductive beautiful raspberry and black cherry fruit intermixed with hints of minerality as well as spicy oak. Lavishly concentrated full and fresh ethereal in both its texture and weight and light on its feet it can be drunk early in life yet has the stuffing and balance to last 20-25+ years.
