Lagrange St. Julien 2018

Lagrange (Saint-Julien)

Perswijn – Ronald de Groot – ****

Geur: kruiden en pruimen, leer, kersen
Smaak: stevig en sappig, elegant, stoere tannine, sap

• Wine Spectator – James Molesworth (93-96)

The intense cassis and blackberry fruit is studded with graphite and licorice snap notes. Vivid from start to finish. Grippy but energetic.

•           James Suckling – (93-94)

This is a very velvety-textured Lagrange with blackberry and purple-fruit character. Lavender and black-tea undertones. Full body. Long and caressing.

• ·         Wine Advocate – Lisa Perrotti-Brown (93 – 95)

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Lagrange opens a little closed and broody, slowly revealing cedar chest, tar, pencil shavings, camphor and fragrant earth scents with a baked plums and warm cassis core plus a hint of yeast extract. Full-bodied and jam-packed with black fruits and earthy accents, it has a solid frame of firm, chunky tannins and just enough freshness, finishing on a persistent mineral note.
