Drank over 2 days. Condition is perfect. Blackberry, leather, spice on the nose. The taste is medium acidity with a nice cherry flavor. Perfect balance of acidity and tannins. Really enjoyable wine.

Drinking beautifully, if you like them retaining a little spring in their step. The nose is full of forest fruits and spices, the taste is quintessential Lagrange - a soft, mellower version of Saint Julien than some of its peers, with blackberries, blackcurrants, spices and forest fruits, along with a certain round creaminess not found elsewhere, but also less volume than the very best. It could still lose a little baby fat, but otherwise perfect for now and the next five years. I'd be cautious about ageing it for much longer than that.

EEE January 2024 St. Estephe vs St. Julien (@ My place): Beautiful bouquet with dark and red berries and some autumn impressions. On the palate juicy dark berries, some licorice, leather, good acidity and length slight touch of sweetness and a beautiful balance between acidity and sweetness. Beautiful and elegant wine which is in its maturity stage, but has enough power for several more years.

This was a surprisingly vapid bottle. No TCA aroma. Maybe some TCB going on as it went nowhere. I'm going to mark it flawed.
