2010 Château La Lagune

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend more

5/5/2024 - Jimaronson Likes this wine: 94 points

Classic French style wine. It is 60% cab and approximately 40% merlot. The combination give a sense of smoothness throughout. The fruit is sweet with a French silky palate of plumb, toasted carmel, vanilla, slight graphite, and some pony barn. The tannins are resolved. Enjoy the bottle now as the fruit is abundant and the wine will not get better. I would open one between now and next year. The 2010 wines are classic structure and therefore I think the drinking window is within the next five years. I slow oxidized it for an hour and then went to the restaurant. I decanted it briefly to remove sediment and then put it back in the bottle. It was fragrant and open for business when I popped the cork.

Bright garnet, good legs, pale rim. Nose is sweet, cigar box, touch of leather. Smooth, great mouth feel, weighty and long.

92-94 Punkte. Sehr feinduftig und frisch, expressiv, viel Floralität, klare, dunkle Frucht; seidenweich am Gaumen, knackige Frucht, gestützt von feinmaschigen Gerbstoffen, das hat Leben, Rasse und Schliff. Ein ausgezeichneter La Lagune. (En Primeur Tasting April 2024, 13.5 Alkohol)

Great wine, old but still very much alive. Good color for its age, with some brown but still some dark purple. Started out quite acidic, and still has some fruit and some tannin. After about a half hour in the decanter it was really singing, beautifully balanced, and very classic cabernet nose and palate. You could have convinced me this was a california cab from the nineties. This must have been undrinkably tannic when released, but after fifty years it's pretty great.

Tasted against Leoville Barton 2006 - didn't show as well. Not flawed or gone but less fruit, so not as well balanced

A good Lagune 1996, finally! After many deceptions in the past are we reaching the harbour? Nicely matured, complex and elegant, with noble wood, subtle leather and tobacco and mokka. A great Médoc.

A fairly dark colour; lively, fresh blackcurrant and plum fruit, soft and quite approachable. Still quite young and will no doubt improve, but it is good to drink now.

Good colour with a wee hint of browning at the very rim.

I guess I wasn’t in the mood for it last time. This is fresh, sort of modern, but it’s a claret drinker’s vintage and this has very attractive (depending on your mood!) green tobacco notes.

Further development over the next 3-5 years is probably going to be very worthwhile, a lot of return for short-term cellaring.

Same as before. I might leave this another 3/4 years. I think it needs to fully emerge into its window of secondary notes. Though a lively, sappy and crunchy claret now.

Kentish Feast (Petts Wood): Opened at the last minute when it became apparent that more red would go well with the remaining food. Again, clean as a whistle, a hint of camp fire, mushroom, lovely fruit gently carrying on underneath it all. Foolishly finished all the preceding bottle before trying this as would have been great to contrast - my sense is that this was perhaps a little less focused but it's also possible that by that stage it is I who was a little less focused.

Oh my this is a surprise. Very tertiary but absolutely delicious nose of black cherry, mint, leather and herbs. Knockout.

Needs a bit of air to fill out but not much. Attractively sweet, with fading tannins but just enough acidity to prop everything up. Not super-concentrated, but feels fresh rather than dilute.

Wish I had some more of these. One of those wines which reminds me why old Bordeaux is so good.

This wine has matured some since I last tried a bottle over three years ago. Opened two hours before dinner. Dark fruit on the nose. The palate was dark berries, plums, figs, some currants and hints of vanilla. The finish was moderate to long.

Decanted for about 90 minutes prior to serving. Dark garnet showing no signs of maturity on the rim. The bouquet was berries and dark fruit with a hint of secondary notes. The wine was medium/full bodied, rich and round. Lovely silky mouth feel with excellent balance. Drinking beautifully now and should drink well for many years.

Base neck fill, cork soaked all the way up. Black fruit, cedar, smoke, hint of pyrazine/green pepper. Tertiary palate, structure largely resolved. Enjoyable but on the downside. Drink up.

From a good looking bottle, with a base neck fill. This was good and highly drinkable, but it lacked complexity and an extra gear. There is some nice fruit still and some silkiness from all the years. Simple, pleasant, ready. 89-90 pts.

3/16/2024 - DanielAVTL Likes this wine: 92 points

In a great place right now. Opened 2 hours before lunch (no decant), served alongside a tarragon roasted chicken and paired beautifully.

Cork was moldy on the top and quite soaked, yet in overall very good condition and quite easy to extract.

The first thing that struck me was the color - Dark brooding purple, slight garnet on the rim, no signs of bricking or tiredness. Very promising.

Nose - lovely floral aromas followed by seductive notes of cigar, leather, dark cherry, anise and mocha. Superb vibrancy and complexity.

In the mouth, very good structure - everything is still there and very much pronounced. Beautiful layers of dark fruit, silky, integrated tannins, medium body, secondary and slight tertiary notes, but really no sign of this being over the hill. Really gorgeous and just singing right now.

92 points on the night, a terrific La Lagune that makes me very excited for the pair of 1989's that I'm opening for dinner next month. Can definitely go for another 5+ years, but at peak right now so no point in waiting.

Bravo.
