My third bottle with consistent notes each time. Not sure why this is so popular. I find it overextracted and the jammy, boozy body type suppresses the notes for me. I would not recommend this wine
This is the third bottle I have purchased from three different sources. They have consistently been spectacular. La Grange has always been a solid value but this particular vintage is up there with the best quality first and second growth wines… in comparison Perhaps it lacks a bit of power, but it provides more finesse.
It has the funk and mouth feel of a right Bank wine, but the perfume and subtle sweet notes like a St Julien. don’t pass this one up if you see it.

It was hard to tell what the wine tasted like, because the layers of alcohol absolutely smashed my taste buds. It was port like, almost young port, and I simply don’t understand the attraction to this wine. But then again, after drinking 14.9% wine maybe I’m just too drunk to write this note.
