Wonderful mint and black currant aromas that follow through to the palate. Full-bodied and velvety-textured, with lots of fruit and a long, long finish. Exceptional.--1990 Bordeaux retrospective. Drink now through 2010. 25,000 cases made

The 1990 La Lagune is a brilliant effort that outperforms in this vintage. Offering up a rich bouquet of blackberries, vine smoke, loamy soil and black truffle, mingled with subtle hints of cigar box, it's medium-bodied, ample and enveloping, with melting tannins, ripe acids and a long, expansive finish. This is an especially velvety, sensuous wine that's at its peak today but in no danger of imminent decline. In fact, I can't think of a better mature La Lagune in my tasting experience (which stretches back to the 1955).

92: Leider hatte ich Pech mit dem Muster, weshalb es sinnvoll gewesen wäre, den 90er direkt ab der Barrique zu degustieren, was ich dann auch im Frühling 1992 tat: Dichtes Purpur. Konzentrierte, süsse Frucht, Kaffeearomen. Softer Gaumen, bereits ausgeglichen, Ähnlichkeiten zu einem Sangiovese, leicht aufrauhend, was die Säurestruktur betrifft, Marroniaromen im Finish. 16/20 1996 – 2006<br/><br/>vorbei (1996 - 2006)

Château La Lagune
The historical Château La Lagune dates all the way back to the 16th century, and has gone through both good and bad times since. The 1950s dealt the château a series of issues, from the financial pressure caused by the economic crisis, to the great frost of 1956, which devastated a rather large part of vineyards in Bordeaux, the domaine with the help of George Burnette was able to rebuild. By the turn of the century, the Frey family acquired the estate, and currently remains in the hands of Caroline Frey. Today, Château La Lagune is one of the finest Third Growths in Haut-Médoc, with over 80-hectares planted to the appellation’s most emblematic grape varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. Enologist and manager, Caroline has implemented the transition to organic farming, with certification scheduled for harvest 2016. Recognized for their, balance, finesse and elegance, the estate’s flagship wine called La Lagune is increasingly impressive. Fermented in stainless steel temperature-controlled tanks, the wine is then aged in new oak, and is one of Médoc’s best clarets.
