2/10/2024 - Dr.Cork Likes this wine: 91 Points
Needs decanting 20-30min.
Initially, the fruit is discreet, with herbal notes and spiciness. As it opens up, nice dark fruit layers are quite present while the spice and herbal notes take a second role. Rather long. Had the 2010 the day before: more fruit forward, more concentration. The 2008 falls into the classical vintages while 2010 is more opulent. Two excellent expression of the Lagrange terroir.

EEE January 2024 St. Estephe vs St. Julien (@ My place): The elegant and complex bouquet shows dark berries, cedar, eucalyptus and beautiful oak. On the palate juicy dark berries, good acidity, a touch of sweetness and round tannin. The wine is in fact already in a beautiful drinking stage, but no problem to cellar it for another 5 years, although I wonder if it will really improve.

Dark garnet. Dark berries, black plums, jalapeno chocolate, lilacs, a hint of toasty vanillin oak. Rich and complex fruit on the palate with a wide range of geographies, from a focused grittily tannic but aromatic core to a warm acid spread at the margins, moving into long inviting tannic finish. Medium to high acids, high tannins with a hint of grit on the palate and some smooth integration on the back.

Hmm really good and giving a lot of pleasure already. Very classically styled Bordeaux. Great balance of fruit and structure. Elegant and satisfying. Drink now and over the next 20 years.

Beautiful bouquet with dark berries, sweet spices, herbs, sweet licorice and laurel. On the palate dark berries, beautiful and juicy, fresh acidity and round tannin. Good length.
