Robert Parker Wine Advocate Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 14 Mar 19
Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2009 la Lagune opens with a an earthy, Band-Aid and menthol-laced nose with a core of crème de cassis, plum preserves and Provence herbs plus a waft of tree bark. Medium to full-bodied, firm and chewy, with a pleasant earth-laced palate, it has appealing layers and harmony, if it tails off just a little rustic.

Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 10 Oct 24
Grilled oak on the nose, blackberry and cassis fruit in the mid palate shows a clearly ripe - heading to over-ripe - character with an attractive layering of cinnamon spice, fig and black pepper freshened up by botanicals and sage, but things get a little drying on the finish, with the tannins remaining fairly tight, and it's a disappointing signoff. 50% new oak for ageing.
