Martin and we with a bottle of Larose 2010.
The 2008 vintage received very high praise from one of America’s most notorious wine critics Robert Parker Jnr.
He scored the wine 93-95 points with these remarks “ The 2008 Larose shows great purity on the nose: blackberry, wild hedgerow and a touch of dried herbs. Quite understated but very good definition. There is a lovely chocolate scent off-stage that should evolve with time (think Pomerol.) The palate is very smooth, nice definition, dominated by the new oak at the moment but there is certainly sufficient fruit to support it. Very fine tannins on the finish that exudes so much precision and poise. It is superb.
