Jamessuckling.com 91 byJames Sucklingthe1/13/2020 Gently lifted, ripe red berries with a greener, leafy thread, too. The tannins have some chew here, giving quite a firm edge to the fruit. Smooth, succulent and lithe feel on the finish. Drink or hold.
Vinous 85-87 byNeal Martinthe5/1/2018 The 2017 La Garricq has a soft, slightly muffled bouquet with red plum and crushed strawberry fruit that needs to muster a little more delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly under-ripe tannin on the entry. It fades too quickly, finishing in an attenuated fashion. Early drinking only.
Wine Enthusiast 90-92 byRoger Vossthe4/17/2018 Ripe, structured yet also fruity, this is a fine wine that has a good future. It has a dry core that will fill out and come together with the juicy black-currant fruits. It will age well, so drink from 2023.
