Château Larroque 2021 coats the glass with its deep garnet color, like a young Libournais Bordeaux, and the nose unfurls gradually with aromas of ripe black cherries, cassis, crushed violets, and what I imagine chocolate covered black currants would smell like, alternating with crushed violets, and fresh garden sage, as the nose evolves in the glass. On the palate, the wine is juicy, supple, and concentrated, with clean precise black and red berry flavors that echo the nose, all seasoned with fresh white tobacco, grated nutmeg, cardamom, and raw carob beans, elegantly punctuated by silky, ripe, fine-grained tannins. Maybe the most elegantly structured wine ever at Château Larroque
