Château Lagrange 2025

Beautiful vibrant colour in the glass, bright pink. Fragranced blue fruit and floral aromas on the nose. Soft and supple, a nice vibrancy and energy straight away with such juicy acidity – blueberry and cranberry – with salty, crushed stone-edged tannins that give a dense grip and linger on the finish. Good balance of power and energy with sleekness and finesse. Freshness is there as is layering of elements. Powdery milk chocolate and flint on the finish. 3.52pH. Ageing 21 months, 60% new oak, 40% one year old. Drinking window: 2034-2049. (Georgina Hindle,decanter.com)
