" Nose slightly fudge, delicately woody. Juicy, almost fleshy, ideally chewy, very beautiful tannins in the final even if a touch of over-maturity is present. A property to be followed. "

" Dark in color and aromas are delicate, raspberry and spices. The wine is soft and delightful, sweet and soft. It can be served quickly. Some charm. "
Bernard Burtschy
16.5/20
" Dark fruit with a hint of mint. Juicy, round and ripe on the palate. Lighter-framed but fine, ripe tannins. Appetizing and the best for the number of years. "
Decanter
" Fresh nose of black raspberry, blackcurrant. Beautiful balance in the mouth, everything is in place, including tannins both velvety and vigorous. Final quite greedy, fruity "
Gault et Millau
16.5-17.5/20 (91-93)
" Very successful for Larmande, with a very nuanced fruit, a remarkable depth, already elegant, without exuberance but all in balance and sensitivity. "
Guide vert RVF 2018
" A lot of roundness in this gourmet wine that is characterized by a well ripe fruit. In the mouth, fat in the texture, a pleasant woven, velvety. Slight notes of ageing appear at the end of the mouth. Good persistence. "
Idealwine
" A solid red with blackberry, mineral and white pepper character. Medium to full body, silky textured finish. "
James Suckling

" What a success! I would think I am back to the ancient vintage from the old days when between 82 and 79, its fragrance enchanted the palate. Clearly, the vintage benefits from this vintage. Pure on the nose, very fruity. The wine offers a wide mouth, oily, unknown for a long time. Tasty, rich, juicy, with taste, it ends up with a mightily and long finish. It is delicious and the best Larmande since 1982. "

Wine Enthusiast

" Purple violet. Complex bouquet revealing pleasant lactic aromas and spices. Chocolate, mint, cinnamon and black fruits. I also found some hazelnuts. On the palate the wine has a dense attack, suave, marked by notes of cocoa. Elegant texture, slightly grainy and refreshing. The tannins and structure are consistent and have a fine and fruity structure. Great success. "
