CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2022 Laroque has an outstanding, finely delineated bouquet that retains the precision and <em>mineralite</em> suggested from barrel. There is energy here. The palate is medium-bodied, sapid and focused with fine-boned tannins. Its <em>mineralite</em> comes through again toward the finish. This rejuvenated Saint-Emilion comes highly recommended and continues a strong run of form for this rejuvenated estate.

98% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc. Cask sample. Fragrant. Sleek and more fruity than tannic with quite a bit of acidity. Just a little mean, which is unusual in 2022. (JR)
