- 2001 Château Lagrange (St. Julien) - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Julien (3/30/2022)
Sad to say this is my last bottle, because it has so much more to give. Classic Bordeaux, with all the pencil shaving, cassis and a splash of kirsch. Mid-weight, retaining enough structure to balance the fruit, and an expansive, long finish reinforce the classic descriptor. This is the Bordeaux I fell in love with from vintages in the 1980s, and it’s how I have wanted to experience the wines.
