Tasting notes
Dark and deep with purple tint. Blackcherry, blackcurrant, liquorice and black pepper on the nose. Fullbodied,
freshness with menthol, round, powerful and long finish. Enjoyable already, this exceptional 2016 is able to
age a long time due to its silky tannins. A great and well balanced 2016 Lagrange: nice harmony with classicism
and modernity.
