Also recommended, but no tasting note given.

Intense, dark robe. Fruity and creamy on the nose, rather like a Pomerol. On the palate it is dense, very fruity, mellow, rounded in the middle and creamy, again like a Pomerol, with elegant hints of vanilla and liquorice. Lovely smooth wine, especially nice, which has steered clear of being hard this year with nevertheless 30% of Cabernet Franc. Is Laroze on the point of finding its style? Its clayey soil was obviously a real asset when it was so dry in 2011. Recommended

Beautiful deep garnet with crimson highlights. Honest, pleasant nose marked by elegant oak. Velvety palate showing silky tannins. Restrained power revealing clear-cut aromas. Lovely oaked finish. A good wine that needs 6 to 7 years bottle age.

These wines offer a smooth palette of macerated black fruit. The initial roundness is rapidly superseded by a touch of tannin that is a little firm at present, resulting from slightly vigorous extraction, but which should blend in with the body of the wine.
