Reviewed April 2022The 2019 Château Laforge is more up-front and charming, with medium-bodied aromas and flavors of savory red and black fruits, leafy herbs, iron, and tobacco. It has good acidity, ripe tannins, and, as with all of the releases from Malthus, is beautifully balanced. Drink this already complex, layered, seamless 2019 over the coming 15+ years.

The 2019 Laforge has really filled out nicely. Black cherry, plum, chocolate, tobacco, licorice and lavender build beautifully with some aeration. The 2019 is sumptuous, bold and racy, Laforge is an absolute joy to taste today. This flamboyant, racy Saint-Émilion will be a jewel to drink now and over the next few years. (AG)

Brambly cassis, raspberry, a strawberry someone punched, and then a little bit of tomato leaf and some barrel spice. The palate is easy and clean, really nice fruit and a lengthy finish that's still finishing. It fills that niche of a kind of crowd pleaser bottle, which isn't damning with faint praise or anything, it's nice to have something that you know you can just bring out for anyone.
