Notes of singed alder, graphite and charcoal wrap around the core of intense blackberry paste, warm plum sauce and currant preserves. Turns sleek and racy on the well-knit finish despite the notable grip. Best from 2015 through 2030. –JM
17 Rene Gabriel
Tiefes Purpur, satt in der Mitte, Granatschimmer am Rand. Schwarze Kirschen, Brombeeren, Tabak und ein Hauch Kandisnoten im bereits verwobenen Nasenbild. Im Gaumen fein, guter Stoff, ausgeglichene Adstringenz mit dezent aufrauhender Note, klingt angenehm nach mit mittlerem Druck. Kann noch zulegen. Drei Mal verkostet. (17/20). 12: Recht dunkles Purpur-Rubin, aufhellender Rand. Das Bouquet zeigt viel frisch gepflückte rote Beeren, welche von Johannisbeeren bis Himbeeren schwanken, dahinter Kirschen und eine leicht milchige Kontur zeigend. Im Gaumen wieder diese rötlichen Beerenschalen, etwas Kaffee und pflaumige Noten im Finale. Hatte ihn schon bei der Primeurwertung auf eher knappen 17/20 was hinter den Erwartungen liegt bei diesem Jahrgang/Château. warten (2019 - 2040)

Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Lagrange gives up notes of baked blackcurrants, stewed plums and fried herbs with nuances of crushed rocks and balsamic plus a touch of fungi. Full-bodied, the palate has a firm line of grainy tannins and fantastic freshness helping to define the black fruit and earthy flavors, finishing a little lifted. <br/>

Château Lagrange
Château Lagrange is a sizable estate even by Médoc standards, with close to 120 uninterrupted hectares of vines spread across the Saint-Julien appellation. The Japanese-owned Suntory firm purchased the property in 1983, with major investments made in both the vineyards and the winery, the group brought Lagrange’s quality to new heights. For many years the château was in the hands of Marcel Ducasse and Kenji Suzuta, today however, a new tandem, Matthieu Bordes and Keiichi Shiina have taken the reins. Perpetuating Lagrange’s pursuit of excellence, the duo now crafts rich and concentrated wines with well-rounded tannins that inevitably defend their 3ème Grand Cru Classé status. Eco-friendly farming methods and handpicked harvesting are paired with state-of-the-art vinification facilities, which include temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, new French oak barriques, and traditional fining techniques. The resulting wine is a highly extracted, tightly knit oaked blend made with endearing finesse and freshness that aids to its approachable style. The Grand Vin Lagrange is a model Saint-Julien, its signature style even for leading Bordeaux properties is difficult to emulate.
