This rating is just my taste. Not a reflection of the quality of the wine. I generally don’t care for the St Emilion region. The wine is just too austere for me. It’s 22% cab franc. It had a slight puckering dried out character without balance to me. Definitely can tell it’s a well made wine. Perhaps with a strong food pairing this would be a better experience for me but it was a wine I didn’t enjoy drinking. — 2 months ago

2020 vintage. Laroque is a very large estate by Saint-Emilion standards, but only the best part of the vineyards is used for the grand vin. The 2019 was pretty good, but this 2020 is a horse of a different breed! — 7 months ago

Earthworm and black cherry (with the pits)…a little past its prime , I think. 89. — 23 days ago

Dark, glass-clinging purple with opaque black core. Abundant, blue-fruity nose. Echoed on the lush, full palate which adds red apple peel, blackberry, and bitter black plum. Medium acidity. Velvety medium tannins. Very nice, everyday St. Emilion. Food is, of course, naturally its friend. Drink now through 2030. — 3 months ago

A big wine that will gaining 4 or maybe 5 points with time. Drink the 2015 Carillon now and let this beast rest in the cellar — 8 months ago

This is why I love Bordeaux! $40 bottle tastes like $100! Lovely dark red color with purple and maroon rims. Classic Bordeaux nose of cedar, rust, flowers, and subtle cow shit. Aged cherries, anise, cedar, and lilacs on the palate. Lovely texture that coats and sticks. Medium plus depth and finish. Really good! — 2 months ago

This needed a firm decant. Has a dept of fruit to it, some forest floor, stoniness, cedar, coffee and florality. Still not showing all the elements it’s capable off. I think it’s in there but needs much more time to fully integrate. Drink from 2028. (90-94) — 4 months ago
