95: Fassprobe (16/20): Gekochtes Fruchtbouquet, rauchig, wirkt eher defensiv. Im Gaumen satt, dicht, das Extrakt ist etwas zäh, fehlt an Charme, weist jedoch ein gutes Potential auf. 97: Mittleres Granat. Recht intensives, konzentriertes Bouquet, defensive Frucht. Im Gaumen mittelgewichtig, rotbeeriges Extrakt (Walderdbeeren), eine angenehme, wenn auch etwas sandige Struktur. 16/20 1vorbei

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.
Producer
Château l'Arrosée
Château l'Arrosée was originally named after an underground spring. For many years, it was owned by François Rodham. In 2002, Roger Caille purchased it and began managing it with his son, Jean-Philippe. Though they made many investments in order to tap into the estate's great potential, in October 2013, they sold it to Domaine Clarence Dillon, the owner of Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion. L'Arrosée's vineyards are now be incorporated into the neighboring Château Quintus, a property Dillon bought in 2011, which had been formerly named Château Tertre Daugay, and renamed Quintus after the Gallo-Roman tradition of calling their fifth child Quintus.
