  Despite the 14.5% alcohol, this wine is beautifully balanced. It seems very true to its terroir, beautifully margauxberry perfumed, that distinct purple color from the region. This 2019 La Lagune is not as “big” as its 2020 counterpart, which last week I rated my favorite La Lagune ever. But that’s a difference in style rather than quality. The 2019 and 2020 La Lagunes are stunning, compelling, complete wines. I rate this 2019 at 95 points, and the 2020 at 95+ points.

  fair, typical wine from h.medoc. needs time, but after airing already pleasurable to sip ...

  Really nice wine with some extended decanting but needs years to gain some weight and complexity. Ii is quite lifted and refined which may be a result of the allocation of the grape varieties. Drank alongside the 2020 La Lagune to compare and enjoyed both for different reasons. This 2019, for its charm and bright fruit (almost red fruited in a way), and the 2020 for its velvety and closer to full-bodied texture (likely a result of the Petit Verdot).

  Medium reddish-purple garnet in color; almost opaque. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, cassis & mulberries with overtones of earthy/dusty & floral notes, herbs, spices, minerals & notes of oak/vanilla in the background. Medium bodied with a good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, blueberries & cassis with herbs, mocha, minerals, spices & a hint of vanilla/oak. Lingering finish. Quite accessible at present with decanting & extended airing but should develop further with a few years of additional aging.
