Les Fiefs de Lagrange 2022

Juicy and bright, a nice ease to this, it’s quite light, missing a touch more fruit density, but the frame, structure and tannin management are excellent. Will be for super easy and enjoyable drinking with freshness and a cool lift on the finish. Sweet juiciness, punchy, but reigned in. A really nice combination of lively fruit, fleshy tannins, cool mint and liquorice freshness. Feels like you’re getting a lot for your money here. Harvest 8-30 September. Ageing 13 months in French oak, 20% new. Drinking window: 2026-2036. (Georgina Hindle,decanter.com)
