Ratings

Wineadvocate

Offering up aromas of sweet berries, exotic spices, herbs and smoked meats, the 2024 Laroque is medium-bodied, with a ripe core of fruit, assertive tannins and a somewhat carnal, animal finish. Given my expectations for this estate, the 2024 left me disappointed.

Vinous

The 2024 Laroque has satisfying concentration on the nose with blackberry, wild strawberry and light floral scents. It just needs a little more delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with much lighter tannins than recent vintages under winemaker David Suire. The 2024 is nicely balanced, displaying simple and noticeably tertiary red fruit and modest weight on the finish. Sure, it comes across a bit short compared to stellar wines in recent vintages; nevertheless, it should give up to a decade of drinking pleasure. Drink: 2029-2039
