Description
Château Lagrange, 3eme Grand Cru Classe, Saint Julien, Bordeaux, 2016
Grapes: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot & 6% Petit Verdot, 118ha vineyard on gravel over clay/limstone soils, aged 21 months in French oak barrels (60% new)
Producer Tasting Note:
Dark and deep with purple tint. Blackcherry, blackcurrant, liquorice and black pepper on the nose. Full¬bodied, freshness with menthol, round, powerful and long finish. Enjoyable already, this exceptional 2016 is able to age a long time due to its silky tannins. A great and well balanced 2016 Lagrange: nice harmony with classicism and modernity.
Critics' Tasting Notes:
"Tasted blind. Dark blackish crimson. Light toasty nose. Appealing rather than really grand and intense. No one could object to this charmer." Drink 2025-2037
17/20 points, Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com, February 2020
"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Lagrange sashays out of the glass with notions of candied violets, cassis, underbrush and warm black plums with waves of Black Forest cake, cedar chest and yeast extract scents. Medium to full-bodied, the bags of perfumed black fruits are solidly structured with super ripe, grainy tannins, finishing long and layered." Drink 2021-2045
95/100 points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, robertparker.com, December 2018
