Jeb Dunnuck: "Coming from the plain of Saint-Émilion but a parcel selection of the best lots, brought up in 80% new French oak, the Merlot-dominated 2018 Château Laforge reveals a saturated purple color as well as smoky, blackcurrant, black cherry, and chocolate-laced aromas and flavors. It has building tannins, beautiful density, and a great finish. It's another smoking wine from Jonathan Maltus that delivers the goods. Drink it over the coming 10-12 years." (92-94)
