L'Arrosee 1985 is an exceptional French wine from the prestigious Saint-Émilion region, characterised by its robust yet balanced structure. This fine Bordeaux, made under the meticulous attention of the Hébrard and the Goldin families, is a blend dominated by Merlot grapes, offering an exemplary expression of its varietal and terroir. Hailing from soils rich in limestone and clay, L'Arrosee 1985 exhibits luscious, complex olfactive notes of sweet cherry, blackcurrant and warm spices, underscored by subtle tobacco undertone. Its entrance on the palate is notably smooth, leading to a strikingly long, pleasantly tannic finale. The wine's impressive longevity is a testament to the exceptional conditions of the 1985 vintage. Enjoy L'Arrosee 1985 now at its peak, full of history and finesse, a gem in any wine connoisseur's collection. Let this stellar representation of L'Arrosee's four-decade long winemaking tradition imbue you distinct and timeless Bordeaux charm. |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (88+)Medium red, with some brick at the rim. Lovely spicy, smoky, roasted plum nose, with nuances of underbrush —a dead ringer for Burgundy. Nicely concentrated roasted chestnut flavor, but somewhat austere, with acidity not completely integrated. Finishes firm and slightly tart, showing more acidity than tannins. |

Wine Advocate (91)A Bordeaux that seems to have a Burgundian personality, L’Arrosée’s 2005 displays elegance and finesse, with sweet black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, hints of minerality and earth, but soft tannin, a lush, medium-bodied style, and impressive concentration, purity and overall texture. By no means a blockbuster (in a vintage that produced almost endless numbers of them), this wine can be drunk now or cellared for another 15-20 years. |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (89)Full red-ruby. Sexy aromas of redcurrant, spicecake, tobacco, loam, licorice and minerals. In a distinctly firm, structured style, with juicy acidity intensifying its dark berry and mineral flavors. But there's also good flesh and sweetness over this wine's firm spine. Spreads out nicely on the lingering finish. |

James Suckling (92)Intense aromas of sliced meat, with tobacco and flowers as well as ripe fruit. Full body, with soft and silky tannins and a juicy finish. A little short hollow in mid-palate. But outstanding all the same. Try in 2018. |
