2012 Chateau L'Arrosee, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 750ml

"Performing far better than it did from barrel two years ago, L?Arrosée?s 2012 offers very fragrant, dark raspberry, black cherry and currant notes that jump from the glass of this wine. It?s an intriguing blend of 60% Merlot and the rest equal parts Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is medium to full-bodied, with silky tannins, an almost Burgundian complexity, forest-floor notes and medium to full-bodied richness and depth. This is a stunner, complex, precocious, and hard to resist, even in its youthfulness. "
