2020 Lagrange Pomerol

Tasting Notes
The depth of Pomerol comes through, bitter chocolate shavings give attractive focus and there is a touch of gourmet spice with rosemary and cracked black pepper. I like this, the tannins close in and shut down the exuberance through the mid palate, things are closed in right now but it will power ahead over the next few years.

Opaque purple-black colored, the 2020 Lagrange (Pomerol) slides effortlessly out of the glass with upfront notes of baked black plums, boysenberries and spiced blackberries, plus nuances of bouquet garni, forest floor and crushed rocks. The medium to full-bodied palate is laden with soft-textured, juicy black fruits and lovely spicy accents, delivering just enough freshness to lift the long, savory finish.
Absolutely beautiful with blackberry, walnut, crushed-stone and lavender character. It?s full-bodied and very layered with ultra fine tannins and an extremely long finish. Really well done for the vintage. Best in a long time.
100% Merlot. Cask sample. Ripe and forward with a touch of candied red fruits. Round and supple on the palate. Light but fine tannins. Gourmand but heady with less freshness than 2019.
