CHATEAU LAGRANGE Pomerol J P Moueix 2019 Bottle

Description

DECANTER 92 points
Tasted by Jane Anson at Bordeaux, 20 May 2020
Firm and slightly subdued tannins that build fairly quickly over the palate. There is an austerity and a clear liquorice wash over the cassis and blackberry fruits that should soften and fill out over ageing. 30% new oak. Drinking Window 2024 - 2040.

THE WINE ADVOCATE 90-92
The 2019 Lagrange (Pomerol) has a deep garnet-purple color and a decadently scented nose of stewed plums, baked black cherries and fruitcake plus hints of spice box, star anise, tobacco leaf and bouquet garni with a waft of chargrill. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is completely filled with opulent black fruits, supported by soft, approachable tannins and lovely freshness, finishing long and spicy.

JAMES SUCKLING 92-93 Points
19 May, 2020 – Lots of blueberries, blackberries, dark chocolate and stones. It’s medium-bodied, refined and polished.

100% Merlot. Barrel sample.
Round, gourmand and come hither. Generous summer-fruit aroma and flavour. Plenty of flesh on the palate with a hint of vanilla oak. Slightly sandy tannins on the finish. Simple but rewarding. (JL)
