  This one showed his beauty once again. If you get a well stored bottle you'll be surprised about the freshness. Nobody on the table would have guessed that they had a 35 year-old Lagrange in their glass. Dark colored, dark fruits on the nose - needs some air to develope the aromas. Fresh and well structured on the palate, medium length. Very good. 94 pts.

  A well aged Saint-Julien, still drinking very well. Made from a blend of 55% CS and 45% Merlot. Deep ruby colour, garnet hue. Medium+ intensity aroma of blackcurrants, cassis, earth, undergrowth, cedar, smoke, violet hints. Medium+ body, broad shouldered well structured St. Julien full of damp earth, wet leaves and spiced fruit flavours, medium+ acidity, high fine tannins. Probably on a slow decline, but still very enjoyable.

  Dried black fruits, damp soil, leather and savory notes. Clean and deep aromas.
  Med- body, med acid, med tannin. Nicely balanced although a bit thin. This is drinking great! I’m the zone compared to the last time i had it. Drink now and over the next 3-5 years.

  Decanted, light sediment. Dark ruby color. Dark fruits, wood, earth, perhaps some granite. Very tight for the first 30 minutes, but really opened up after 2 hours, in which the fruit and tannins provided a very smooth mouth feel. Perhaps just a bit thin. Held up and improved over 4+ hours.

  The last one in my cellar. A bit of a funky nose and taste upon opening. Served with grilled tenderloin. By the end of the meal, 4 hours after opening this wine shined. Still holding on to some serious tannin. Deep garnet. Taste of dried red fruit (raspberries, perhaps) and orange peal. Looooong, dry finish. I just wish I had a few more bottles.
