JM.QUARIN 16,50-16,75/20

My best score given to this estate’s wines “en primeur”.
This is the most subtle Laroze I know.
Dark, intense, beautiful robe. Elegant, fruity, ripe, smooth, subtle bouquet. Smooth attack, mellow as it develops, very hedonistic, the wine fills out to become rich and airy. Packed with aromas, its finish is long, complex and elegant. Delicious and more epicurean than ever. A great success.

Wine Spectator. James Mollesworth: 89-92

Shows more toasty spice and vanilla aromas, with the core of plum and blackberry fruit staying in reserve for now. Yet there’s solid length, with good grip on the finish. (ndlr: tasted in the US)

James Suckling 91-92

He tasted and published his commentaries far before others and made many jalous...

Roses and berries, with hints of milk chocolate. Full and velvety.
