hosted a 15 person wine tasting and poured this in a blind tasting; def fooled many on what it was but everyone enjoyed it. def earth and tobacco like notes around the red fruit; most preferred the Altamura cab 07 to this but it was still enjoyed by many

Decanted for three hours prior to tasting.
Inky dark purple color.
Rich mouthfeel with velvety soft tannins; this one is an outstanding example of a perfectly aged claret. Wonderfully integrated with layers of delicious black fruit, supported by interesting secondary and tertiary flavors. Consistent over two bottles.
This one is really outstanding!

Decanted 2 hours - a great wine, but not excellent until the last glass. I should note that my wife absolutely loved the wine from the first sip. Next time, will decant for 4 hours which might do the trick. Not much fruit left but some berries detected. It was silky and did feel higher in acid, but that didn't take away from the wine itself. Overall, I was expecting more. I don't feel like the wine is going to develop further, but I think this will last another 5 years or so.

Spectacular. The ‘05 vintage provides this Lagrange with elevated quality. Round, balanced, and complex. Can’t wait to try more Bordeaux from this year.
Colour: deep garnet.
Tannins: high.
Acid: high.
Texture: velvety.
Finish: long.
Aromas: sour cherry, leather, slightly earthy, and floral (violets and roses).

Two hour decant helped this bottle a lot. Drinks nicely with tertiary aromas there but not dominating. A clean, classic bdx with cassis, cedar, tar and leather. Drinks now with air but will also develop/improve from here.
