Wine Critic Reviews
Composed of 99% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc, the 2017 Laroque sports a deep garnet-purple color and is redolent of baked plums, black cherry pie and blueberry preserves with hints of baking spices and menthol plus an emerging waft of violets. Medium to full-bodied, the palate possesses very classy, ripe, plush tannins and tons of freshness lifting the energetic black fruits to a long, mineral-tinged finish.

The 2017 Laroque is a wine of precision and class. Mocha, dried flowers, mint, blood orange, spice and star anise all open up effortlessly. Medium in body, perfumed and nuanced, with lovely palate presence, the 2017 has much to offer. Best of all, it will drink well with minimal cellaring. This is another impeccable wine from an estate that continues to improve. Tasted two times.
