95 Points

Tuesday, February 6, 2024 - 95 now but could go to 96.

Lagrange is my benchmark wine. I don't think langoa, talbot, la croix beaucaillou, or branaire ducru exceed this wine.

Ripe, fresh, bright, and pure. Cassis and dark fruits, cherries, spice, minerality, and gravel. Subtle nuances of violets, chocolate, spice, coffee. Juicy and acidic. Sweet and pure. Tannins powdery but still young with a tinge of bitterness. Nice long aftertaste.

This one needs more time to gain elegance and come together.

Balanced. Purity + precision compared to 2018's opulence. More medium-full bodied compared to the 2018's full body.

The more this opens up the more I like it! Drank it in one night.
