Saturday, August 7, 2010 - I decanted 2+ hours in advance of the meal. Tight and tannic. When served, it was still a bit in its shell, but beginning to poke out. Substantial tannins, cassis and black cherries, the usual young Lagrange blast of cedar meets cocoa oak. Tannins are quite present, but fairly smooth/ripe and with the meat this does well. Looooooonngg. The thing I like about Lagrange is that even in a big ripe year there's a solid acid backbone. Curiosity assuaged, now I can put these away for 10 year. B/B+ for current drinking, I'm expecting to get into A territory in future.
