One of the most beautiful wines of the vintage the dark ruby/purple-colored La Lagune exhibits sweet cassis camphor truffle and white chocolate notes presented in a dense medium to full-bodied silky textured personality. Filled with purity finesse elegance and authoritative flavor intensity this 2008 is already drinkable and should continue to evolve for 15+ years.

Full fleshy and not in the least way wanting for ripeness the 2008 La Lagune is a deep and impressively stuffed wine that is among the best we have ever tasted from this estate. It is rife with blackcurrants yet shows nuanced minerally notes and a fair streak of rich oak and if overtaken by a full raft of gruff young Cabernet tannins it never lets go of its wonderfully well-defined fruit. It may be flashy right now but it requires a good eight to ten of years of aging to show its best.

Ruby red core with an medium ruby red rim. Subtle aromas of Rainer Cherry strawberry and chalk with some nicely integrated herbal aromas including black tea and sage. Firm upon entry this wine fleshes out on the mid-palate into one of the bigger Medoc wines of the vintage. Firm tannins and some nice toasty oak notes as well. This is classic Bordeuax
