Chateau Lagrange - St Julien 2015

The blending consists of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, and 8% of Petit Verdot.

A sleek, pure style, with violet and anise notes running in lockstep from the get-go, offering a beam of raspberry, blackberry and cassis flavors. Features a light tug of graphite through the finish, but this is relatively accessible already. by Wine Spectator, JM, 2018.

Anyone who thinks that modern Bordeaux has become too soft or easy should taste this seriously tannic yet sleek and vibrant wine. So much drive and energy that the weak of heart should better stand back. Better from 2020 and has a couple of decades of ageing potential. by James Suckling, JS, 2018.
