Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 93-95
Another impressive performance from this estate, the 2022 Laroque offers up aromas of sweet berries, violets, iris and exotic spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered palate with a rich core of fruit that’s framed by lively acids, concluding with a taut, chalky finish. Once again, it’s the result of a strict selection that sees only 45% of the production released as the grand vin.
Jean-Marc Quarin 93
Couleur rouge sombre, aux reflets noirs. Nez intense, fruite et suave. Charnu en entree de bouche, charnu au milieu, le vin evolue sur des saveurs de fruits tres murs. Bonne longueur sur une touche tannique crayeuse. On verra si l’elevage lui donne un peu plus d’eclat aromatique. Assemblage : 98 % merlot, 2 % cabernet franc. Degre d’alcool : 14 5 – pH : 3,55. Rendement : 41 hl/ha.
Anticipated maturity: 2033-2055
