2005 Chateau Lagrange, Saint-Julien, France, 750mL, [96 points]

$122.00

The 2005 Château Lagrange is a stunning Saint-Julien that has entered its prime drinking window with grace and refinement. The bouquet is expressive and seductive, offering layers of currants, crushed raspberries, blackberries, rose petals, and tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet polished, with silky tannins and excellent mid-palate depth. A touch of leather, iron, and earthy minerality gives it classic Left Bank complexity. The wine unfolds with balance and finesse, showcasing the understated elegance of mature Bordeaux from a great vintage. Aged in 60% new oak, this is a lesson in harmony, purity, and long-aging potential—with another 15–20 years of enjoyment ahead.
