Chateau La Lagune 2010

JAMES SUCKLING: „This shows an enchanting nose of roses, violets and other flowers. It's also fruity but very subtle. A full-body, super-structured red with an excellent backbone of ripe yet firm tannins. Goes on for minutes. Don’t touch for five or six years. Try in 2019."

DECANTER: „Brambled menthol and spice, this is elegant and juicy and has plenty of life ahead of it. Showcases the aromatic complexity that comes with age at La Lagune, as the campfire and gunsmoke edging of Cabernet Sauvignon on gravel begins to come to the fore, but the tannins in this excellent vintage remain muscular at 11 years old. 50% new oak. A yield of 30hl/ha.“

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: „Medium-bodied with notes of flowers, red fruits, forest leaf, spice, and tobacco in the perfume, Soft, fresh, elegant, and refined, the various red and black fruits on the palate and vibrant, long, sweet, and refined. Drink from 2022-2040.”

WINE SPECTATOR: „This is tangy, with red currant, roasted mesquite, sanguine and tobacco notes. Already shows range and definition, with solid grip.“
