Lot #39. L'Arrosée 2005

Description: Consists of 12 Bottles, 0.75L
Packaging: OWC.
Score: 93 RP.
"This estate’s new proprietor has hit a home run, producing l’Arrosee’s finest wine since the early eighties, when a bevy of top clarets (1982, 1985, 1986) were produced. Somewhat reminiscent of a Burgundy, the deep ruby/purple-tinged 2005 offers up sweet raspberry and forest floor characteristics along with a hint of toasty oak. It hits the palate with beautiful finesse, elegance, and sweetness. Medium to full-bodied with loads of black currant and raspberry fruit, substantial but sweet tannin, zesty acidity, and a long finish, this beauty is filled with purity, symmetry, and balance." Wine Advocate #176, Apr 2008
Provenance: The Échelle Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $600
