As classic as the modern style allows. Delightful perfume of varieties in place, including purple berries with red berry accents. Fine blending, notably harmonious. Sleek and expansive, appealing textural weight, exceptional range. Structured and balanced, including oak treatment and alcohol. This bottle had a decade of evolution ahead of it. Likely to peak after 2035. Improvement seems possible. 94-95.

I love seeing wines continue going up in score. This vintage of Lagrange keeps getting better and better with every tasting. Now, you find a wine with depth, roundness, lift, concentration, and complexity. The fruit comes in layers with its sweet currants, edged with tobacco leaf and spice on the nose and on the elegant, silky, and fresh palate. This is showing great today, and should only get better from here. Drink from 2023-2050.

Commanderie de Bordeaux: Chateau Lagrange with Mathieu Bordes (Paris Dining Club, Mpls, MN): Very dark red color. Drank a glass over 2 hours again two days later. CS75, M17, PV8. This was quite nice already, showing some medicinal notes on both the nose and palate, charcoal, cassis, briary black cherry, elegant and approachable tannins. I had this at 92+ to start and an easy 93 or slightly better 48 hours after opening.

Flawed. Flat.

(at Elkridge Club - Baltimore) Classic and correct. Medium bodied with rounded edges. Still youthful. Hopefully complexity emerges. Good. (92)
