(3/31/2017) "Not shy, with hefty fig paste and blackberry pâte de fruit notes backed by a rumble of bramble, ganache and licorice snap. Underneath roils a base layer of tobacco and graphite that should slowly surface with time. May have pushed the extraction envelope ever so slightly, but this keeps it together in the end. Best from 2022 through 2032."

(11/30/2017) "Checking in as 62% Merlot and the balance Cabernet Franc that was brought up in roughly 70% new oak, the 2015 Château Laroze is straight up gorgeous. Cassis, black cherries, spring flowers, lead pencil shavings and hints of tobacco all give way to a ripe, sexy, concentrated Saint-Emilion that has sweet, polished tannin, plenty of mid-palate depth and a great finish. This beauty builds with time in the glass, is seamless, and just a sensational drink. Maturity 2018 - 2033."

(7/2015) "Iron, smoke, savory herb, dried rose petal, mint and fennel are some of the notes that emerge from the 2012 Côte de Baleau. There is good depth in the glass, even if some slightly angular contours remain. The perfumed, aromatic finish adds to the wine's near-term appeal. This is the last wine made by Sophie Fourcade before she sold her three estates (including Clos St. Martin and Les Grandes Murailles) to the Cuvelier family, who also own Clos Fourtet, which lies adjacent to Les Grandes Murailles. Drinking window: 2016 - 2025."

(2/2017) "The 2014 Côte de Baleau is a juicy, straightforward wine to drink now and over the next few years. Sweet red cherry, mint, anise and dried flowers are nicely layered throughout. Today, the 2014 comes across as quite supple and open-knit, but with a bit less depth than it showed from barrel. Even so, the 2014 is quite pretty. I would prefer to drink it over the next handful of years. Tasted two times. Drink 2017 - 2025."
