Decanted 3 hours prior… Deep vivid red showing no signs of age… Nose is graphite, chocolate, deep red fruits… Flavor is deep, rich, with plum blackberry cherry fruit flavors, light chocolate note with polished tannins and it’s well balanced Ready to drink but additional cellar time can’t hurt

Dekantert. Herlig første glass, 14 grader C, andre glass hadde fått 18 grader, og da ble de 18 % alkohol for tydelige, for tydelige, på grensen til ubehagelige.

90 minute decant; ripe and expressive, with ample red and black berry fruit, graphite, rich tobacco and black tea flavors. Some drying tannins, but integrated nicely. This was best on day 2 after it opened up a bit more. Drink now - 2035+.

2015 vintage

Luscious and warm, inviting. Bold dark fruits with anise and tobacco leaf. The finish lasts until tomorrow, but it’s a long, slow smooth ride to that ultimate end. Oodles of years left in this of course. In fact, I’m probably drinking it a bit early although it does well both right out of the bottle (with an atypical closure for the region). Glad I have more!

Flowers, licorice, espresso, smoke, herbs and ripe dark cherries permeate the perfume. Soft, polished, lusciously textured on the palate, the silky finish shares the stage with ripe plums, savory herbs, sweet cherries and a touch of coffee bean. Give this 2-3 years more age in the bottle and it will be showing even better.

Parker would call this hedonistic. This sucker is a monster - black fruit, chocolate and a mountain of tannin. Leave it rest for another 7-10 years for a more mature drinking window. Its the right stuff, just a little early to consider drinking even with a long decant.

2015 vintage

Luscious, opulent, ripe, rich fruits are all over the place here. Accompanied by licorice, chocolate, smoke, plums, cherries and espresso. Hedonistically styled, concentrated, round and deep, this is still in the primary stage. A few more years in the cellar will add a lot to this beauty.

Amazing on first day. Evolved even more on next. Will try to save last two bottle for another year before opening.

2015 vintage

Forward, opulent, silky, lushly textured wine with loads of ripe black cherries, juicy plums, velvety tannins and a sensuous, dark cherry, licorice, chocolate and smoke-filled finish. You can enjoy this hedonistic sexy wine in its youth, or age it for further development.

2nd bottle, flat out gorgeous.

Ridiculously great wine - no faults, just order more

2015 vintage

A most complex wine, and one that'll likely get more complex the next couple/few years, although by no means is it too young at this stage. A hint of chocolate, mint, pepper, ripe red fruit, a bit of smoke/tar. This is one to savor with food or possibly even more so just on its own. A masterpiece.

2015 vintage

Medium Ruby, Med+ intense aromas of evlyptus, mint, pepper, ripe red frui, dried fruit, fig, prune, tar, leather, ceder, vanilla, truffle. Developing.

Can drink now, suitable for further aging

2015 vintage

Showing a depth of color, this is rich, fat, opulent, sexy and full of silky, velvet textured fruits. This is all about the sensuous textures and finish.

Something is happening at Croix de Labrie. The superb and talented winemaker Axelle Courdurié is just doing an Amazing work (with the help of JP Fort from Michel Rolland and his husband Pierre Courdurié). She works all green! All handcraft, soils work by horse, gravity in the cellar, and pigeage by hand. This 100% pure Merlot is one of the most beautiful vintage from the tiny garagist estate. An maybe one of the Best wine from Right Bank. Super sexy, …

Chateau Croix de Labrie tasting (Wine Depot, Tel-Aviv) : intense yellow colour white fruity and wet hay nose full bodied, round, barn flavours, white fruits, still very young, good agin potential

2015 vintage

Deep in color with chocolate mint, licorice, spicy black cherries and a hint of truffle on the nose, this wine tastes like a blend of black cherry liqueur and dark chocolate. Silky in nature with the structure to evolve, this is a very nice vintage for Croix de Labrie. The wine is made from 100% Merlot and reached 14% alcohol.
