Note di degustazione
The 2013 La Lagune, which was presented as separate lots during en primeur rather than a blend, comes from just the Cabernet Sauvignon vines as stated on the label. It has a decent bouquet with straightforward, slightly rustic red berry fruit mixed with a light, almost cement-like scent. The palate is medium-bodied with light redcurrant and cranberry fruit. You know, this is a perfectly pleasant wine for the vintage with no vegetal aspect, not long-term but just enjoyable for what it is. Tasted at the La Lagune vertical at the château.

Tasted blind. Deep greyish garnet. Unusual smoky aroma. A bit like black tea. Gentle but a bit weedy on the palate. (JH)
The 2013 La Lagune has a slightly reserved, foursquare, masculine nose with plenty of tobacco scents infusing the black fruit, though like many 2013s it just lacks the sense of energy and attendant excitement. The palate is medium-bodied with rather tough tannin, rigid in the mouth with a touch of Japanese nori towards what is otherwise a conservative, graphite finish. It is by no means a bad La Lagune. It's just unlikely to be your wine of the year.
