Enjoyed this with a group of friends over dinner. It’s a good representation of what an everyday Bordeaux should be. Way better than expected at this $10 price point. — a year ago

Love this Bordeaux! — 5 months ago
There are some acts that are hard to follow. So is the case with the 06 Bordeaux vintage vs. 05. However, that is not entirely the case with the 06 Lagrange. Normally Margaux for rack of lamb, thought I’d try some St. Julien elegance and change it up a bit. Exquisite with the Allen Brothers Lamb Lollipops.
The fruits are, dry, ripe, ruby; blackberries, black raspberries, black plum, black raspberries, bright, dark cherries. Dry clay, semi-sweet lead pencil, charcoal, sandalwood, fresh tobacco notes, limestone powder, dry herb notes-bay leaf, dry river stone, dark, rich soil with dry leaves, a mix of Indian & Asian spices, some black licorice mixed with dark fruit cola, charcoal/volcanic ash, mix of semi-fresh to withering dark, bright florals framed in violets & lavender, really nice acidity and lush , rich, smooth, velvety, well balanced finish that last two-minutes.

2016 vintage. Last tasted 6.6.23 (9.5). From Coravin. Still as big as ever. Lower score likely due to BDX palate fatigue as this was number 8 in a line of 11 BDX. Nose not as expressive as last go round but still fab. 5.9.24. — 19 days ago
