Score 90-91/100 · James Suckling
Fine and silky, this is more about the velvety tannins and driven acidity than sheer power or fruit, though that’s there aplenty. Mineral finish.

The 2017 Laforge was picked on 2 and 3 October with 13.1° alcohol. It has a pretty blueberry and blackberry scented bouquet with the new oak nicely integrated. I was surprised it was 80% new wood – it is barely noticeable. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, well judged acidity, a more elegant take on Laforge. Maybe the oak just pokes out towards the finish but that should be assimilated by the time it is bottled.
