Lisa Perrotti Brown beschreibt den Zweitwein vom Chateau Laroque am 29. März 2019 wie folgt:
Made of 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc from vines more than 50 years old. the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Les Tours de Laroque opens with pretty raspberry coulis. black cherries and warm plums scents with underlying fungi. black loam and cracked pepper hints plus a touch of beef drippings. Medium to full-bodied. elegant and fresh. with a firm line of grainy tannins. it delivers a graceful. earthy finish.
