Antonio Galloni Januar 2019: 93The 2016 Lagrange (Saint-Julien) is super-expressive today. Soft and supple. the 2016 is quite open. even in the early going. Sweet tobacco. menthol. dried herbs and licorice appear with time in the glass. adding lovely shades of nuance. All the elements fall into place effortlessly. Lagrange is not especially complex. but it is absolutely delicious and will be impossible to resist upon release. A touch of blood orange. mint and red berry fruit adds freshness on the finish.

Deep garnet-purple colored. the 2016 Lagrange sashays out of the glass with notions of candied violets. cassis. underbrush and warm black plums with waves of Black Forest cake. cedar chest and yeast extract scents. Medium to full-bodied. the bags of perfumed black fruits are solidly structured with super ripe. grainy tannins. finishing long and layered.
Verkostungsbericht vom 03. Februar 2019:The best wine from this château in many years! A huge. dramatic. blackcurrant and wild-blackberry nose and the first impression on the palate is every bit as intense. Nice acidity lifts this massive structure and keeps the imposing finish so fresh. Drink or hold.
