I love seeing wines continue going up in score. This vintage of Lagrange keeps getting better and better with every tasting. Now, you find a wine with depth, roundness, lift, concentration, and complexity. The fruit comes in layers with its sweet currants, edged with tobacco leaf and spice on the nose and on the elegant, silky, and fresh palate. This is showing great today, and should only get better from here. Drink from 2023-2050.

Commanderie de Bordeaux: Chateau Lagrange with Mathieu Bordes (Paris Dining Club, Mpls, MN): Very dark red color. Drank a glass over 2 hours again two days later. CS75, M17, PV8. This was quite nice already, showing some medicinal notes on both the nose and palate, charcoal, cassis, briary black cherry, elegant and approachable tannins. I had this at 92+ to start and an easy 93 or slightly better 48 hours after opening.
Finessed wine! Drank over two days - first day felt a little reticent. Next day nose and flavors exploded. Dark cherry, cassis and a hint of vanilla. Acidity is well judged and tannins are in a good spot now. Been drinking a few recent vintages of LaGrange recently and realizing how well made this is.

Deep garnet, pronounce on the nose. Red fruit, cherry, oak with an earthy note. Dry, high acidity, high tannin but smooth and doesn't bite. Long finish. An outstanding wine!

(at Elkridge Club - Baltimore) Classic and correct. Medium bodied with rounded edges. Still youthful. Hopefully complexity emerges. Good. (92)
