Château Laroze 2023 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, Grand Cru Classé

A lovely fresh nose, which offers brightness and a fine sappy side. It expresses notes of fresh wild blackberry, fresh cherry and more slightly – lilac associated with fine hints of nutmeg, spices and a hint of fresh sappy. The palate is nicely juicy, fruity, and offers freshness, tension, accuracy, a fresh frame, a stretched side, a discreetly tight structure. It expresses notes of juicy/fresh blackberry, pulpy raspberry and more slightly – small pulpy/juicy berries, associated with touches of lilac, violet, as well as fine hints of fresh blond tobacco, cardamom and toasted-caramelization. Nice definition. Fine firmness on the finish.
