Note di degustazione
The 2006 La Lagune has a deep colour. There is very good intensity on the nose for a 2006, quite pure with blackberry, briary and some blue fruit coming through with time, the oak nicely integrated and certainly more showy than the 2005. The palate is medium-bodied and for me, perhaps just a little over-extracted since I was hoping that the finish would show more tension and sophistication. There is a pleasant salinity but I suspect that ultimately the previous vintage will show more class. Maybe it is trying too hard? Tasted at the La Lagune vertical at the château.

Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London and at Farr Vintners' blind horizontal, the 2006 Château La Lagune showed marked variation between bottles. One felt a little fatigued on the nose, but another was more attractive with Hoisin and white pepper scents filtering through the black fruit. The palate feels a little pinched, but with continued bottle age I can see this developing more depth and complexity, demonstrating pleasing composure on the finish. Tasted April 2016.
Tasted blind. Dark ruby. Not much nose. Overblown. Not enough focus. Picked too ripe? Aggressively drying tannins. (JR)
