Château Laroque Saint-Émilion Grand Cru (Grand Cru Classé) 2022

Aged in oak leather, this wine is described by a dry, tannic finish.

Perfect glass of wine, expertly polished and refined. A rich, garnet red with a deep, reddish-brown rim. The nose is a masterful blend of sweet and tangy, with layers of black currant, red forest berries, and red currant, all harmoniously intertwined. The tasting is silky smooth, with a fruit-forward profile that's still tempered by a nuanced acidity and a wisp of earthy, herbal undertones. The tannins add a welcome sense of structure and depth, and yet the brightness provides a lively, bracing finish. A truly impressive wine, with a smooth, elegant finish.

Smooth, concentrated red wine with a rich, supple texture. The nose is redolent with fruit and soft undertones of spice, even as the palate is equally impressive, with a smooth, rounded finish. The tannins are well-balanced, and the aftertaste is easy-drinking and satisfying. Overall, a remarkable merit for the price.
