Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend

A classically lovely Chateau Lagrange from a wonderful year.

Lovely balanced LaGrange

Brawdy, plenty of rough edges

Still could have waited longer

Showing very nicely pop and pour, taut with good focus (for a Bordeaux). Still lively.

A very lovely modern example of Chateau Lagrange. Big fruit consistent with the vintage. Nicely balanced and showing well. This wine needs many years to develop.

Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (46%), Merlot (45%) and Petite Verdot (9%). Dark garnet/ruby color with a noticeable brick colored rim. Aromas of black fruit and berries, leather, rose petals and tobacco. Flavors of ripe black plums, black currant, black cherry, graphite and iodine. Long, earthy and softly textured finish that features a nice amount of oak. Well integrated and very soft tannins. Medium to medium-plus body. Still fresh and concentrated on it’s twentieth birthday. So easy to drink. Thanks for sharing this impressive bottle, Kase and Pete. Revisited in March 2025. At its peak! So beautifully balanced and soft. Fantastic!
