The 2009 Les Fiefs de Lagrange is really very good with pretty, mixed red and black fruit, mineral, pencil, and a touch of chervil. I like the slightly svelte profile, limber, energetic, classic. The Petit Verdot was particularly good this year and it all ended up in Les Fiefs - none in the Grand Vin.

Quite sweet and concentrated blackcurrant flavours with a welcome cool middle section, perhaps tending towards jammy flavours on the finish. For me this needs a little longer.

1/3, very good cork. Decanted 1/2 hour. Medium/deep ruby core, narrow pale rim. Nose shows red fruit, cedar, touch of vanilla. Quite youthful. Medium bodied with attractive cedary red fruit, pencil lead notes, touch of gravelly mineral, fine tannins, lovely vibrant acidity, pleasantly grippy finish. This is very good indeed, nudging excellent. To 2030ish.

Delicious, classic bordeaux. Balanced, smooth, still plenty of dark fruit , would probably keep but awesome now
