2015 Larmande, St-Emilion

SKU #1370671 93 points James Suckling

Outer quote mark Aromas of currants, fresh sweet tobacco, flowers, sandalwood and rose petals. Full-bodied, very rich and flavorful with minerals, white pepper and salt and hints of black tea. Intense finish with a bitter undertone for now. Needs a couple of years to come completely together. Inner quote mark (4/2018)

91-93 points Wine Enthusiast

Outer quote mark A foursquare wine, this boasts dry, firm tannins that lets the concentrated black-currant flavors slip through. It is solid and will develop well. (RV) Inner quote mark (4/2016)

91 points Jeb Dunnuck

Outer quote mark Saint-Emilion is arguably the most quality rich region in 2015 and the 2015 Château Larmande is certainly worth your money. Giving up lots of smoked black fruits, cherries, chocolate and hints of spring flowers, this beauty hits the palate with surprising elegance and freshness, as well as fine tannin and nicely integrated acidity. It’s a lively, classy 2015 to enjoy over the coming 15+ years. Inner quote mark (11/2017)

Decanter

Outer quote mark Dark fruit with a hint of mint. Juicy, round and ripe on the palate. Lighter-framed but fine, ripe tannins. Appetising and the best for a number of years. Inner quote mark

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark The medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Larmande has a nose of warm plums and baked blackberries with touches of spice cake, balsamic and charcuterie. The medium to full-bodied palate is soft and plush with open-knit berry preserves flavors and a savory finish. (LPB) Inner quote mark (2/2018)

Varietal:

Cabernet Sauvignon and Blends

- Cabernet Sauvignon has come a long way from its role as a blending varietal, however dominant, in the wines of Bordeaux. Today it is the most planted red varietal in the world. Identified as a descendent of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, the late-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon needs to be planted in warmer climates to fully ripen. Its small berries can easily be identified for their distinctive blue color, thick skins and high tannins. And while the varietal has its own definitive characteristics: green pepper-like aromas and black currant flavors among them, it is perhaps most prized for its ability to convey terroir, vintage and winemaking. A relatively new varietal, Cabernet Sauvignon started making inroads into the wines of the Médoc and Graves in the late-18th century. Today it is also dominant in the up-and-coming Entre-Deux-Mers region of Bordeaux and can also be found in Southwest France. It is the companion varietal to Sangiovese in Italy's Super Tuscans and is planted all over Europe, stretching to lesser-known winegrowing regions like Russia and Lebanon. In the Americas Cabernet Sauvignon has found champions in every nook and cranny of California and among winemakers in Washington, where it complements plantings of Merlot. In South America, Cab thrives in Chile, but can also be found in smaller amounts in Argentina and even in Mexico.

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.
