" Very refined and dense, with a beautiful intensity of dark fruit and hints of mint. Touch of class here. "

" The Château Larmande is rich and opulent on the nose with dark cherries, cassis and boysenberry with a touch of marmalade. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, good acidity, a touch of spice and white pepper furnishing the dark berries, dark plum and some attractive, grainy tannins counterbalancing the sweetness towards the finish. Very fine... "

" The very high class; it is one of the rare wines of the vintage with a remarkable minerality, tannins are integrated and soft, the final is floral with an impressive length, alcohol is quite non-existent. The excellent soils, processed by excellent winemakers always make the difference... Drink 2020 à 2040. "

" Complex wine with balsamic note, a bit shy, but with a great elegance and a great balance. This wine, often shy in its young years, evaluates very well for this vintage. It is not its last words! "
