Merchant's description

L`Arrosee Magnum 1996 is a full-bodied red wine from a Grand Cru Classé estate in the Saint-Émilion appellation of Bordeaux`s Right Bank. The wine presents itself as a tightly-structured wine that has yet to fully unveil its character. Displaying a medium dark ruby hue, it offers subdued aromatics that, with time, may yield impressions of dusty minerals intertwined with black cherries and raspberries. Notes of refined, toasty oak complement the black fruit elements, enhancing the complexity of its profile. This vintage remains firmly knit and austere, a hallmark of the estate, known for its dedication to low yields and meticulous vineyard practices. A classic representation of its terroir, it invites patience.
