VertdeVin
The nose is fruity and offers richness, a beautiful racy power and a beautiful fine grain. It reveals notes of crushed wild cassis, fleshy wild blackberry, small notes of sichuan pepper associated with touches of fleshy wild strawberry, small crushed wild red berries, violet, lily as well as hints of violet plum, liquorice and chocolate. The palate is fruity, mineral, well-balanced and offers a beautiful definition, an acidulous fine frame, power and a beautiful suavity. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy/juicy cassis, juicy raspberry, small notes of crushed blackberry associated with fine touches of crunchy/juicy red cherry, juicy/crunchy violet plum, violet as well as very fine hints of chocolate, vanilla and a very discreet hint of mild tobacco.

Medium-bodied, elegant and fresh, this is fabulous from the get go. The nose, with its display of cigar box, black currants and cedar is just great and the wine is even better on the palate with its display of soft-textured, vibrant, sweet, red fruits which show off their purity and freshness with ease. This is another gem showing much better in the bottle than it did in the barrel. They have really been on a roll here at Lagrange since 2015 and 2019 could be their best vintage yet! Drink from 2028-2055.

The 2019 Lagrange has turned out beautifully in bottle, wafting from the glass with aromas of cherries, blackberries and cassis mingled with hints of loamy soil, pencil shavings and bay leaf. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with an ample core of lively fruit, powdery tannins and succulent acids, it's suave and seamless, concluding with a long, expansive finish. The result of an extremely rigorous selection, and incorporating fully 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, this is the finest wine this château has produced in the modern era. Remarkably, it was released at the same price en primeur as the 2005!
When Matthieu Bordes arrived at Château Lagrange in 2006, he had the good fortune to take over a vineyard that had been extensively replanted in the 1980s and was just arriving at maturity. Since Suntory acquired this estate, indeed, no expense has been spared, nor has any selection been considered too severe; and as the fruits of that investment over the years met Bordes' talents, the results have been exceptional. The 2019 Lagrange, the finest wine produced here in the modern era, shows just what this estate is capable of, and it is worth a special effort to seek out.

While I don't think the 2019 Château Lagrange matches the 2018, it's not far off, with a more elegant yet still concentrated style. Beautiful crème de cassis, spicy oak, tobacco, chocolate, and new saddle leather notes all emerge on the nose, and it stays tight, compact, and focused on the palate, with plenty of firm tannins. It opens up beautifully with time in the glass but merits 4-6 years of bottle age, and it should evolve for 20-25 years or more.
