Dark garnet hue. Red fruits, almond and hazelnut, with a faint vanilla aroma. The silky, velvety attack reveals a pleasant, concentrated and well structured wine. It offers a combination of fruits pastes’ flavors, licorice and toasted notes, and an elegant finish.
Enjoy this wine with charcuterie, roasted meats, BBQ, cheeses.

"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. "

2015 Chateau Larroque Bordeaux Superieur Rouge - 89 PTS - JD
"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."
