Chateau Laroque 2019 Doppelmagnum 3.00 Liter

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.

 

William Kelley im April 2022:

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.

 

Peter Moser im Februar 2022:

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau Laroque 2019 Saint Emilion:

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.

 

Und Neal Martoin (Vinous) zum Chateau Laroque 2019 Saint Emilion:

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.

 

Für den Wine Spectator verköstigte James Molesworth den Chateau Laroque 2019 Saint Emilion:

Still a touch reticent but it's all there, from the dark plum and warmed cassis notes to the underpinning of warm loam and sweet tobacco accents. Features fine-grained tannins, with good cut through the finish. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2023 through 2035. 11,800 cases made, 1,840 cases imported.

James Suckling beschreibt den Chateau Poesia 2016 am 25 April 2019 wie folgt:

Subtle aromas of mint. bay leaf and dark berries follow through to a full body with chewy and polished tannins and a tight. structured finish. Extremely long and firm. Give this at least another four or five years to soften and come together. Try after 2023.

 

Jeb Dunnuck bewertet den Chateau Poesia 2016 im Februar 2019 wie folgt:

A blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. the 2016 Château Poesia is more open and showy compared to the Barde Haut. offering fabulous limestone-like character in its kirsch and currant fruits and notes of dried herbs. white truffle. and dried flowers. Possessing medium to full body. ripe. present tannins. terrific concentration. and a great finish. it's another incredibly classy Saint Emilion from the Garcin-Lévêque family.

 

Der einzige Bordeaux in der RPWA’s team "coup de coeur" Liste für 2019

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Poesia 2016 Saint Emilion Grand Cru wie folgt:

The 2016 Poesia is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple. the nose delivers vibrant Black Forest cake. redcurrants and Morello cherries notes with touches of cinnamon stick. rose hip tea. pencil shavings. tobacco and milk chocolate. The medium-bodied palate charges out of the gate with bright red berries layers and loads of herbal sparks. framed by rock-solid. ripe. grainy tannins and bold freshness. finishing very long. It should offer very good aging potential.

Rene Gabriel Mai 2016

Tiefes Purpur. satt in der Mitte. Granatschimmer am Rand. Komplexes. sanft fülliges Bouquet. viel reife Brombeeren im Untergrund zeigend. Im Gaumen bleibt der Wein sehr schwarzbeerig. oben im Fluss charmant. unten noch etwas aufrauend und eine feine Nobelbitterkeit im Finale. Das Potenzial ist versprechend.

 

Galloni von Vinous bewertet im Februar 2017 wie folgt:

Even better from bottle than it was from barrel. the 2015 Fonplégade is absolutely gorgeous. Rich and sumptuous. but superbly refined. the 2015 exudes class. The dark cherry. plum. espresso. rose petal and blood orange notes open up effortlessly. Time in the glass brings out the wine's underlying brightness. tension and energy. Everything about the 2015 speaks to balance. This is a superb showing from proprietors Stephen and Denise Adams and their team. which includes both Stéphane Derenoncourt and Michel Rolland.

 

James Suckling im Februar 2018:

A gorgeous and layered red showcasing blackberry. blueberry and mineral aromas and flavors. It’s full-bodied and polished with impressive tannins. Shows the flamboyance of the estate. Give it time to come around. From organic grapes. Drink in 2022.

 

Lisa Perrotti Brown im Februar 2018:

Made almost exclusively from Merlot with just a 5% splash of Cabernet Franc. the 2015 Fonplegade is deep garnet-purple in color with a very pretty nose of red and black currants. wild thyme. charcuterie. earth and floral notes plus a fair amount of cedary notions in the background. Medium to full-bodied. it's wonderfully elegant. fine and fresh in the mouth with arresting purity and depth. finishing just a little woody. Give it 3-5 years for the oak to marry and the fruit to come to the forefront. and drink it over the next 10 to 15+ years.
