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.\u003cbr\u003eWith 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen opened, there are immediate notes of creme de cassis \u0026amp; black cherries with a trace of chocolate \u0026amp; cedar. It's Medium-to-full bodied, robust but always pure, combining classic tension with wonderful tannic structure.\u003cbr\u003eIt's just entering it's drinking window, but it's a long 'drinking window' with some guiding 'drink now til 2055'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pWvJNd\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-complete=\"true\" style=\"font-family: Google Sans, Arial, sans-serif, Noto Color Emoji; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(22, 23, 26);\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"SGF5Lb\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-complete=\"true\" style=\"font-family: Google Sans, Arial, sans-serif, Noto Color Emoji; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(22, 23, 26);\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Google Sans, Arial, sans-serif, Noto Color Emoji; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(22, 23, 26);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"SGF5Lb\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-complete=\"true\" style=\"font-family: Google Sans, Arial, sans-serif, Noto Color Emoji; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(22, 23, 26);\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Google Sans, Arial, sans-serif, Noto Color Emoji; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(22, 23, 26);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"SGF5Lb\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-complete=\"true\" style=\"font-family: Google Sans, Arial, sans-serif, Noto Color Emoji; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(22, 23, 26);\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Google Sans, Arial, sans-serif, Noto Color Emoji; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(22, 23, 26);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-complete=\"true\" style=\"font-family: Google Sans, Arial, sans-serif, Noto Color Emoji; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(22, 23, 26);\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-container-id=\"rhs-col\" data-ignore-copy=\"\" data-inline-header=\"true\" class=\"ofHStc qmNpEc\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwj2-NPnn_aXAxUFVUEAHRVpNb8Q3aYQegYIAAgCEAI\" data-sfc-inited=\"2\" data-empty=\"false\" style=\"font-family: Google Sans, Arial, sans-serif, Noto Color Emoji; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; margin: -58px 0px 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(22, 23, 26);\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"oRipZb\" style=\"font-family: Google Sans, Arial, sans-serif, Noto Color Emoji; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(22, 23, 26);\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"IQTBxd notranslate\" data-animation-skip=\"true\" dir=\"ltr\" data-xid=\"aim-aside-initial-corroboration-container\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-wiz-uids=\"da4yg_7c,da4yg_7d,da4yg_7e,da4yg_7f,da4yg_7g\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\" data-sfc-inited=\"2\" style=\"font-family: Google Sans, Arial, sans-serif, Noto Color Emoji; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWine Advocate says\u003cbr\u003e95 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWine Spectator says:\u003cbr\u003e92 Points, Very sleek, with a racy iron edge driving through in lockstep with cassis and cherry coulis flavors.
