James Suckling über den Chateau Laroque 2019 Saint Emilion:
Blackcurrant, cherry and violet aromas follow through to a medium to full body with very well-integrated tannins that give a soft and creamy impression. Long and satisfying already, but needs another three or four years to come together. Try after 2023.

A terrific effort from an estate that was long one of Saint-Émilion's sleeping giants, the 2019 Laroque unwinds in the glass with aromas of cherries, licorice, loamy soil, rose petals and sweet tobacco. Medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, it's deep and concentrated, with succulent aids, powdery tannins and a seamless, integrated profile. It's well worth seeking out.

Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Ockerrandaufhellung. Feine Edelholznuancen, floral unterlegt, zart nach Blaubeeren und Lakritze, Orangenblüten, facettenreiches, einladendes Bukett. Saftig, engmaschig, reife Herzkirschen, feine Fruchtsüße, reifes, tragendes Tannine, sehr gute Länge und Frische, ein Hauch von Honig im Abgang, mineralisch und anhaftend, sicheres Reifepotenzial.

The 2019 Laroque captures all of the potential it showed as a young barrel sample. Succulent and racy to the core, with striking depth, Laroque is voluptuous, creamy and wonderfully inviting right out of the gate. Succulent dark cherry fruit, mocha, spice, new leather, licorice and menthol build into the voluptuous finish. Laroque balances fruit intensity with energy. It is certainly impressive in 2019. Tasted two times.

The 2019 Laroque has impressive transparency and focus on the nose, which is well-delineated and mineral-driven, the oak seamlessly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit and fine grip, and lightly spiced with a touch of black pepper toward the finish. A superb Laroque from winemaker David Siure.

Composed of 97% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. the 2019 Laroque was harvested from the 30th of September to the 10th of October. Yields were 43 hectoliters per hectare this year. Alcohol came in at 14.5%. with a relatively low pH of 3.44. Deep garnet-purple in color. it bursts from the glass with bold scents of blueberry preserves. Black Forest cake. dark chocolate and lilacs with underlying hints of aniseed. espresso and pencil lead plus a waft of smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied. the palate is completely filled with dark. seductive berry layers and a whole myriad of savory nuances. framed by wonderfully soft. velvety tannins and fantastic freshness. finishing very long and perfumed. Beautiful!

This is very minerally and stony with crushed cement. Medium to full body and firm. polished tannins. It’s floral and complex. So fresh and bright. Wonderful balance to this. Elegance and drinkability. Better than the 2018. One of best ever.

The 2019 Laroque is plaint. silky and super-expressive. even in the early going. The purity of the fruit is striking. Medium in body. Laroque captures all of the radiance of the personality while retaining a very classic mid-weight sense of structure. Raspberry jam. spice and red plum meld into the juicy finish. The 2019 is very nicely done.
