Good wine, but typical for a 2001 Bdx it is fresh and pure, but the palate can't match the quality of the impressions in the nose. Very light weighted. On day 1 it was even a bit sour, acid was too strong. On day 2 the wine improved, the acid went into the background but still no pressure on the palate, no volume. Very green and light. 91 pts for the beautiful nose. (88 for the palate and the slightly drying tannins at the end).

Beautiful and rustic bouquet with autumn impressions and some barnyard and graphite in the bouquet as well as the taste. Beautiful acidity and still slightly sticky tannin. Fully mature now and the wine will probably stay on this level for several years if stored properly. Pity this was my last bottle.

This was in its perfect drinking window and really hit the spot! Classic left bank flavours of cassis, hint of tobacco, graphite and a lovely savoury finish. Delicious and my favourite wine of the night vs the 2004 branaire ducru (product of a tougher vintage) and 2005 beychevelle (excellent intensity but the Lagrange was more ready to drink and refined as a result). Excellent stuff.
