Larose 2018 750ml

On the nose the 2018 Larose displays the brightness and purity of the vintage with intense blue and black fruits, and perfumed florals. High quality French oak gives cedar, cigar box and mocha to the complex concentrated nose. On the palate the Larose 2018 has opulence and flesh, framed by a youthful taut tannin structure, and magnificent length.
