Laroque St. Emilion 2024

Tasting Notes

Perfumed raspberry and cherry fruit with creamy scents and lots of rose aromatics. Glossy and rich, this has great concentration from the start. Cool and crisp, a touch of grip - the fine but firm tannins gives a structured mouthfeel with blueberry fruit and freshly picked mint on the finish. Round, juicy and with energy and lovely licks of salty minerality. Well made by winemaker David Suire, this will be a crowd pleaser and likely to be good value. 3.75pH. Ageing 80% new oak, 20% one year old oak for 16 months. Drinking window: 2029-2042. (Georgina Hindle,decanter.com)
