Tasting notes
The second wine of Château Laroque, the 2019 Les Tours De Laroque is certainly worth checking out. It shows the purity and precision of the Grand Vin, only in a more up-front, soft, charming, medium-bodied package. The blend is 93% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc, and it's balanced, pure, and undeniably delicious. Drink it any time over the coming decade.

The 2019 Les Tours de Laroque bursts with aromas of raspberries, plums, licorice and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, layered and lively, it's rich and seamless, with bright fruit flavors and ripe tannins, concluding with a slightly heady finish that detracts a little from my score.
The 2019 Les Tours de Laroque has a well-defined bouquet with a touch of menthol coming through with time. The palate is medium-bodied, grippy and assertive, with gritty tannins, yet fresh toward the graphite-tinged finish. A fine second wine.
