James Suckling 93
Lovely ripe cassis character, fullish body and elegant tannins make this an easy 2009 to enjoy in spite of the wine's ample structure.

This has a solid core of juicy plum, red currant and blackberry fruit that sits in reserve, while mouthwatering briar and toasty spice notes move along the edges. Grippy and focused through the finish, with well-embedded acidity. Best from 2013 through 2024. 22,500 cases made. –JM

Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2009 Lagrange rolls out of the glass with beautiful redcurrant jelly, warm blackcurrants and blueberry preserves notions plus hints of fallen leaves, camphor and pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the palate with red and black fruit preserves and lively herbal sparks, with a firm grainy backbone and great freshness on the finish.

Technical Details
Tasting notes
Intense aromas of blackberry and smoke.Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and long finish. Solid and tight. As it should be.Vintage
Surprisingly,2009 is not a very hot year (nOWhere near the heat-waveof 2003),nor is it a very dry one such as 2002 or 2005.However,the
arrival of rainfall and warmth corresponded perfectly to the vine's
needs during Its growth cycle.
Very good conditions during the months of August, September and
October.The last 10 days of September and the first of October are even the best of the year. From 28th September to 16th October 2009.
