  Hello ladies and gents, I'm afraid to tell you that the wine isn't ready for business!! A little tight and closed on the palate, still working its way out, very dark and opaque in colour! Rather muted nose of sweet, nutty black fruits! Along with a little touch of game! Certainly a fifty years wine in my book!

  Bordeaux 2023-05-21 (Château Lagrange): Dinner Chateau Lagrange
  Very fresh and alive with beautiful dark fruit mixed with tertiary notes. Did not have the soy/bouillon notes that the 1996 had in the next glass.

  The 1986 Lagrange illustrates just how far the estate has come (particularly since Matthieu Bordes has been in charge); the wines today lack the diffuse woodiness and underripe, herbal character seem here and possess terrific dimension, character, and purity. There’s still some black fruit to be found, but this is not an 86 to hold.

  Typ. Bordedaux der alten Schule, aber etwas ausgezehrt. Jetzt trinken, wird wohl nicht besser!
