JAMES SUCKLING: "A chunky and structured red with blackberries, black cherries and wood showing now. It’s full-bodied with substantial tannins and a savory finish. This has excellent structure. Better than 2022."

VINUM: "Floraler Duft, feinfruchtig, würzig, frisch; verführerisch auch am Gaumen, man möchte gleich schlucken, perfekt dosiertes Tannin, glasklare Frucht, das Holz richtig dosiert, würzig und rotfruchtig im Finale. Einmal mehr gelungen, wird früh Spass machen, kann reifen."

FALSTAFF: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart floral, schwarze Waldbeeren, dunkle Kirschen, ein Hauch von Cassis, kandierte Limettenzesten. Saftig, harmonisch und elegant, frischer Säurebogen, feine, tragende Tannine, schokoladige Nuancen im Abgang, balanciert und mit Länge ausgestattet. Dieses Jahr ausnehmend gut gelungen."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: "Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 Laroze springs with vibrant notes of black raspberries and Morello cherries plus nuances of cloves, tilled soil, and lavender. The medium-bodied palate is elegant and soft-spoken, with plush tannins and beautiful poise, finishing with a quiet intensity."

DECANTER: "Red berry and ripe plum aromas introduce a broad attack reflected in rather fine tannins, with some extraction felt, but overall smooth - the type of wine for which barrel aging will improve the tone, given the savoury, ripe fruit. There is excellent structure as well for cellaring. Aging in 60% new oak."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Espresso, herbs, tobacco, and cedar aromatics show effortlessly. Medium-bodied, with a fruity core of red pit fruits, the creamy finish leaves with you sweet, ripe, cherries, with licorice accents, dark chocolate, and a touch of mint. Drink from 2027-2039."
