Very rich, very fine attack - liquid-fresh, finer that silk, sweet, pure crème de fruits attack. Big, despite Marcel Ducasse’s stated aim of promoting elegance above all, ‘this is the limit of power that I like’, and still in balance. Very complete, no holes, a ball of relatively impenetrable fruit, there is a touch of oak on the nose, but otherwise the 60% new wood is not detectable, - and very long. L&S (Mar 2005)

Deep ruby red in colour at 22 years old. Tertiary notes on the palate, woodsmoke, ash, smoked earth. There are fruits here but they are gentle, the emphasis is on spice and smoke. Rosebud, jasmine, concentrated damson, absolutely ready to drink at this point, the tannins are still very present but they have a succulent and gentle feel. 50% new oak. Lowest percentage ever of overall production, 34% 1st wine, with an unusual blend for the time with high Cabernet Sauvignon, so a window into the kind of blend that they have today.

The 2000 Lagrange is deep in color and sports a bouquet very similar to the bottle poured at the vertical, resplendent with blackberry, pencil box and a discreet ash scent. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, and maybe less brutish than the previous bottle, displaying more cohesion and less austerity on the finish. This is delightful and the best example that I have encountered. Drinking range: 2021 - 2040 Rating: 93 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Sept 2021)
