Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Lagrange has a crisp and focused, graphite-tinged bouquet that is well defined, showing more precision than many of its Saint Julien peers. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, grippy in the mouth, with cedar and sage towards the finish. There is impressive body and presence conferred by this Lagrange that is aging with style (as this Saint Julien has a propensity to do in more challenging growing seasons). This is one to watch. Tasted February 2017.

Rich purple-red, good crushed berry fruit and nice smoothness and ripeness, attractive weight and balance, but in the lighter, more forward style.

With its dusty tannins and bright fruits, this fully represents the vintage. It has a texture that is open, relatively gentle, powered by black currants and very accessible. The acidity gives a light lift at the end.
