These are the last bottles we have to offer after recently tasting this wine again, and it blew us away! Château Larruau is an exceptional Bordeaux value, situated within walking distance of the 2nd-growth Rauzan-Ségla and bordering the renowned vineyards of the first-growth Château Margaux. This is prime real estate, and while it was once classified growth, it now offers one of the best under-the-radar values in Bordeaux. Few Margaux wines are available at this price, yet this is a serious bottle of Bordeaux from a great terroir. We have been selling this wine for almost two decades, and we are pleased to report that 2018 is among the finest young examples we have tasted from this Château. The 2018 Bordeaux vintage has shaped up to be excellent, and though it was a riper year that gives the wines lovely upfront fruit, they still have plenty of structure and concentration. However, let's not forget the elegance for which the Margaux appellation is known, which Larruau showcases beautifully. 2018 possesses lovely aromas of cassis, violets, graphite, game, and some baking spices. The palate is concentrated but so light on its feet, with lingering notes of cassis and spices that fan out on the finish like a peacock's tail. This is a stunning bottle for the Bordeaux lover, offering early accessibility while still having the stuffing to age for a decade or two. It is a magnificent, hidden gem of Margaux and a great buy, especially at this price!
