It conveys transparency and mineralité at a higher level and leaves you wanting more. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins that frame the pure black cherry and raspberry fruit. There is structure here, and the finish is notably longer than other wines of its class. This is very impressive, and I can imagine it aging with style. Drink 2027-2050.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94-96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eNeal Martin - Vinous\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 Laroque might be the best wine David Suire has made since taking over here a few years ago. What I admire most about Laroque is its classicism—there is plenty of that on display here. Bright acids and persistent beams of supporting tannin frame dark-toned fruit, lavender, rose petal, graphite and sweet spice in a Saint-Émilion that impresses with its vibrancy and delineation. Superb. Tasted two times.
