This Château La Lagune is a dark coloured Haut-Medoc. It is pure and precise on the nose and on the palate; it is tender, mellow and finely fleshy with soft blended tannins. The 2006 La Lagune finish is harmonious and long. It is a wine of great maturity that would go well with lamb.
Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London and at Farr Vintners' blind horizontal, the 2006 Château La Lagune showed marked variation between bottles. One felt a little fatigued on the nose, but another was more attractive with Hoisin and white pepper scents filtering through the black fruit. The palate feels a little pinched, but with continued bottle age I can see this developing more depth and complexity, demonstrating pleasing composure on the finish. Tasted April 2016.
