February 20, 2021 - I’ve always loved Lagrange because although it is not a Leoville, it hits all the St. Julien notes consistently, and has an incredible price point for the quality. This was the oldest vintage I’ve had of Lagrange, and it did not disappoint. The 2-plus hours decant was a necessity, but the cork came out clean and the time opening up made it improve and improve. The nose is not memorable, but the palate is gritty - dark currants, pencil shavings, black pepper - with a fairly long finish. By the time we finished the bottle 3 1/2 hours after opening, it was peaking. I thoroughly enjoyed this wine.
