Château Lagrange 2009 – Saint-Julien, 3ème Cru Classé

The nose is fruity, aromatic and powerful. It reveals notes of boysenberries, flowers and slight notes of cassis, wild strawberry combined with hints of spices as well as a subtle hint of Sichuan pepper, tea and spices (in the background). The palate is fruity, fresh, well-balanced, racy, elegant and offers a beautiful mineral / fresh frame, a slight acidity (in the background), a slight fat, a good definition, a small tension and a slight juiciness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of black cherry and ripe berries associated with touches of crushed wild raspberry as well as touches of oak, spices, cardamom and tea. Tannins are fine and structuring. Good length. (2020+)
