Château La Lagune
Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend
Out of Magnum. From the phenomenal 82’ vintage, dense and mature, sweet black cherries and red currants transition to damp earth, tobacco and hints of cedar. The tannins are sweet and supple and the finish is long, plush and silky.

1 person found it helpfulMay 1st, 2019Bought on release and perfect storage for the last 35 years--subterranean and temperature controlled cellar near the finger lakes. 1982 richness and beautiful aromatics. Perfectly mature but not yet on the downside.

Apr 6th, 2017Showing great. Opens up right after pouring. Moist tobacco and dried currants. All the hallmarks of great, aged Medoc.

Sep 21st, 2016At No 3 with my team. One written off bottle for one of these obvious reasons...Warm moss/lichen, dry wood and infused dry wood notes. Full, some flesh, fine and spicy tannins. Warm with a short, mineral (graphites)/smoky finish (storage).
