97 points - Smoky notes, complex, oyster shell, tar and sump oil on the bouquet. Firm, muscular and needs more time. There is great concentration and persistence here allied with acidity. Power plus.

96 points - Dark red purple. Exuberant nose of dried herbs, floral elements. Palate is very integrated with a backbone of tar. Plum and tobacco. Cola notes, finishing on a minty, lifted note. Just coming out of its shell. Has another 20-30 years to run.

2009 Château Lagrange 3ème Cru

2023-02-17T10:53:37Z

95 points - Deep red purple. Dense, dried herb aromas, smoky, bitumen and complex. Rich and succulent on the palate, quite fleshy with excellent density. A streak of acidity enlivens the palate. Some sooty characteristics too, smoky coal dusty. Beautifully integrated, seamless. Initially more medium length than I would have liked, but it marries perfectly with the t-bone steak tonight with pepper sauce.
