"The 2015 Chateau Larroque is primarily Merlot yet includes 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Cabernet Franc, all aged a year in French oak. It has a classic black cherry, currant, smoked earth, and licorice-driven bouquet and is a medium-bodied, incredibly charming, ripe 2015 that has loads to love. It should keep for 7-8 years."

"An attractive nose of oak overlaying seductive dark red fruits with hints of blackcurrant leads into a complex palate with silky tannins. Soft, earthy flavours of dark cherry and currant matches silky tannins to finish."

"Beautiful deep ruby color. Pleasant fruity nose with discreet woody and licorice notes. On the palate, a frank attack, a wine both structured and melted. We like the finish that combines power, freshness and expression. Ideal with red meat. "
"Black-fruit, cassis, tar, walnut-husk and raw-cocoa aromas. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, powdery tannins. Chewy layers of dark fruit and wood spice. Try from 2022."
