Reviews

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.

Vinous Media 94

The 2009 Lagrange was picked from 28 September to 6 October. This has a sensual and very floral bouquet with lavender and violet aromas infusing the plush and generous red berry fruit. It retains fine delineation despite its concentration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, velvety smooth with layers of red berry fruit laced with clove and thyme, gently fanning out towards the caressing finish. Superb. Tasted at the Lagrange vertical at the estate.

Wine Advocate 93

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.

Wine Enthusiast 94

Ripe wine, with soft tannins allied to great density. Weight and lovely, juicy, final fruit flavors meld together easily. This is solid, dense, impressive and for long-term aging.

Wine Spectator 91

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

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-wave
of 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.
