Periodic Review of Wine

The deeply-rimmed, saturated inky-purple colored La Lagune is brilliant. It boasts fabulous perfumes of white flower, blueberry liqueur, raw meat residue, cassis, and crushed-minerals. This is unbelievable quality for a Southern Médoc offering a full-bodied, dense, muscular, spilled-ink flavor of cassis and minerals. This provides for a loaded, crammed extract of impeccably ripe fruit. It will certainly offer collectors and extended cellar life partly due to its old-school, backward-style. A wine of complex seared meat flavor infused with blackberry. Certainly, it is one of the biggest surprises of the vintage. Spectacular! Maturity period 2017-2037
