Inside Bordeaux
Blackberry, chocolate, tobacco, black truffle, relaxed tannins. As it opens the sweet black fruits maintain their form through the mid palate, gathering up smoked cedar notes and lighter saffron spice. You will find longer-ageing 2012s in the appellation so I throughly recommend enjoying this delicous wine from now and over the next decade. Harvest October 8 to 21, 35% 1st wine, 60% new oak.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Soft berry and blackcurrant fruit with background earth and subtle oak is present in this medium-bodied, slightly austere and angular style of wine. It will benefit from another 2-3 years of cellaring and should keep well for 12-15 years.

The 2012 Lagrange was a late-picked vintage from 8 to 21 October and it has improved since I last tasted it. It has a deep and broody bouquet with cranberry, raspberry and wild strawberry aromas that are nicely integrated with the oak. The palate is very well balanced with supple tannins, spicier than the 2011 with ample fruit concentration on the fleshy, pliant finish. This has panache and class, an underrated Lagrange that should not be missed. Tasted at the Lagrange vertical at the estate.

Vinous
The 2012 Lagrange offers blackberry, raspberry, hoisin and leather aromas, nicely defined though not overly complex. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe and fleshy tannins, but it just takes its foot off the accelerator towards the finish where I am seeking more tension and backbone. Easy and gentle, I would drink this now and over the next five to eight years. Tasted blind at the Southwold Ten-Year On tasting.
