Note di degustazione
The 2004 Lagrange has an attractive bouquet with ripe (for the vintage) black plum and wild strawberry, orange pith and light marmalade mixed with cedar scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a fleshy entry. This 2004 has softened in recent years. This is quite spicy and smooth in texture. The Merlot, 36% of the blend, shapes this wine. It just tapers a little on the finish and misses a bit of terroir expression and nerve.

Classic and balanced, cassis, bilberry, touches of rosebud and raspberry leaf. A gentle wine that is easy to drink and easy to love. This was a large crop with yields heading upwards of 60hl/h, which meant careful sorting and green harvesting in the vineyard (Lagrange had been the first in St Julien along with Leoville Las Cases to do so in the 1980s). Eric Boissenot consultant. An old school classic. 60% new oak, 46% 1st wine.
The 2004 Lagrange was picked from 4 to 19 October. Deep in colour, it has an attractive bouquet with black/red fruit, autumn leaves, cedar and fireside hearth, commendably well defined for the vintage with plenty of vigour. The palate is fully mature with bright red berry fruit laced with allspice and black pepper. This feels harmonious and whilst not the most complex Lagrange, there is much more finesse than its peers in this vintage. Good show! Tasted at the Lagrange vertical at the estate.
