WTN: 2001 Bordeaux shines again

by David M. Bueker » Wed Mar 30, 2022 7:04 pm

  • 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.

Thanks. I only have a couple of these, but this is encouraging.
Anniversary year so have a good stash of '01, and generally showing well.
Nice note

Exciting news; I believe I have some of these too. (If not, they're '05s.)
