  • A lot of youthful intensity and nubile fruit, nevertheless very accessible. Harmonious and seamless, in the beginning of its drinking curve, only upside from here. Cassis, smoke, green elements and hints of oak spice gradually melting into the mix. Nicely fresh profile, good lengthy finish. Lagrange is never the most complex wine but pushes clearly above its price point and excels in its class. This is even better than 1990 and 1996. Generally speaking (and here too) the 2000 left bank Bdx vintage has always been acclaimed but could it be even better than anticipated? If 2010 was a great but a solar year, could the 2000 be the last truly great vintage?

  • Disappointing performance considering previous bottles tasted of this vintage. Nice bouquet though, but disjointed on the palate with dried and slightly greenish fruit, light body, and a surprisingly short finish. An odd bottle?

    Vibrant medium(+) ruby, bright ruby rim, barely translucent, narrowly spaced legs !13% abv,
    Nose of red fruit, barnyard, cedar, earth notes; slightly perfumed Bordeaux aromas.
    Dry, medium-medium(+) acidity, medium ripe tannins and medium(+) body. Complex palate of blueberry, baked cherries, chocolate notes, leather. Beautifully balanced, displays freshness and youthfulness, slick silky texture, luscious. Long well-defined tightly-bound and elegant finish. Fantastic ***

    (Lagrange) Stunning nose of cocoa, leather, mint, bbq sauce, menthol, asian spice. Very aromatically precise. Almost like a solid in the mouth. Great density and weight but still retains elegance. It was amazing how big how many of the 2000's were but what was more amazing was how much elegance they had. They all punched you in the face, but you saw it coming in very slow motion. Remarkable - - this vintage.
