Château Laroque, Saint-Emilion grand cru classé 2022 Pessac Léognan with the resulting juice alloweda clean and precise bouquet with brambly red fruit, hints of liquorice and iodine. Quite voluptuous in style, though thankfully, it retains delineation. The palate is medium bodied with succulent ripe red fruit. Fine structure, very supple in the mouth. The lightly spiced finish comes across just a little sweeter than I would have liked, prompting me to be a bit more cautious with my score than I otherwise might have been. 2029 2045 9294 100 Neal
