Ch. Lagrange (St Julien) was always a highly rated wine, but has further improved over the 15-20 years leaving no doubt of it's brilliance.
With a vineyard blend of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, this vintage was aged for 21 months in oak (50% new) before bottling. It's a classically styled vintage despite a 50% reduction in volumes due to the exceptionally dry and hot summer - but this helped concentrate the flavours etc in the reduced production. 

When opened, there are immediate notes of creme de cassis & black cherries with a trace of chocolate & cedar. It's Medium-to-full bodied, robust but always pure, combining classic tension with wonderful tannic structure.
It's just entering it's drinking window, but it's a long 'drinking window' with some guiding 'drink now til 2055'

Wine Advocate says
95 Points, The 2020 Lagrange is a fine follow-up to the excellent 2019. Offering up aromas of crème de cassis and plums mingled with hints of violets, licorice, pencil shavings and vanilla pod, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, with a deep core of ripe but vibrant fruit that's framed by powdery tannins that assert themselves with gentle grip on the finish.

Wine Spectator says:
92 Points, Very sleek, with a racy iron edge driving through in lockstep with cassis and cherry coulis flavors. Reveals a subtle black tea accent on the finish, with the minerality eventually holding center stage

Decanter says:
95 points, Wonderfully ripe, and intense, expressions of black and red berry fruit presage a wine with tannic finesse (and edge) for longer-term cellaring.
