March 21, 2024 - Good... but i wouldnt wait longer to drink them... smooth, light and nice balance. Few tannins
February 8, 2024 - This was a surprisingly vapid bottle. No TCA aroma. Maybe some TCB going on as it went nowhere. I'm going to mark it flawed.
January 22, 2024 - Drank over 2 days. Condition is perfect. Blackberry, leather, spice on the nose. The taste is medium acidity with a nice cherry flavor. Perfect balance of acidity and tannins. Really enjoyable wine.
January 21, 2024 - Drinking beautifully, if you like them retaining a little spring in their step. The nose is full of forest fruits and spices, the taste is quintessential Lagrange - a soft, mellower version of Saint Julien than some of its peers, with blackberries, blackcurrants, spices and forest fruits, along with a certain round creaminess not found elsewhere, but also less volume than the very best. It could still lose a little baby fat, but otherwise perfect for now and the next five years. I'd be cautious about ageing it for much longer than that.
January 3, 2024 - EEE January 2024 St. Estephe vs St. Julien (@ My place): Beautiful bouquet with dark and red berries and some autumn impressions. On the palate juicy dark berries, some licorice, leather, good acidity and length slight touch of sweetness and a beautiful balance between acidity and sweetness. Beautiful and elegant wine which is in its maturity stage, but has enough power for several more years.
December 17, 2023 - Second time trying this wine after 8 months. This time I decanted 10 hours, but still too young. I recommend holding for at least 5 more years.
September 16, 2023 - An easy afternoon with close friends (@ PdV): Beautiful and smoky, somewhat sweet bouquet with dark berries and caramel. On the palate a sweet start with ripe dark berries, good and juicy acidity, a touch of sweetness, still slightly sticky tannin and a good length. 92+
September 3, 2023 - There are some acts that are hard to follow. So is the case with the 06 Bordeaux vintage vs. 05. However, that is not entirely the case with the 06 Lagrange. Normally Margaux for rack of lamb, thought I’d try some St. Julien elegance and change it up a bit. Exquisite with the Allen Brothers Lamb Lollipops.
The fruits are, dry, ripe, ruby; blackberries, black raspberries, black plum, black raspberries, bright, dark cherries. Dry clay, semi-sweet lead pencil, charcoal, sandalwood, fresh tobacco notes, limestone powder, dry herb notes-bay leaf, dry river stone, dark, rich soil with dry leaves, a mix of Indian & Asian spices, some black licorice mixed with dark fruit cola, charcoal/volcanic ash, mix of semi-fresh to withering dark, bright florals framed in violets & lavender, really nice acidity and lush , rich, smooth, velvety, well balanced finish that last two-minutes.
August 27, 2023 - light purple in color, blackberryin aroma with initially, smooth tannin, cedar and wood aroma after one hour later, excellent wine after 17 years.

Served with Lamb Gyros. Less gummy compared to its 2015 sibling, a reflection of its maturity. More balanced with a clean finish..enjoyable drink..
