The 2009 Larose is characterised by its elegance, power and ripeness with a focus on balance, length and texture. It is deeply coloured and the nose is dense and complex with magnificent lifted aromatics, a mix of lifted violet florals, sweet dried herb, cassis and black plum with blackberry and spiced truffle. The palate has power, great extraction and depth, yet is elegant. The fruit is beautifully layered, a bounty of flavours, cassis, black plum, spiced bramble, chocolate and coffee with leathery truffle.
