A solid, masculine-styled effort, the 2012 Lagrange lacks charm, but it does offer a muscular, medium-bodied, slightly rustic style with plenty of wood (a signature of this property), and an adequate mid-palate, texture and finish. The tannins and structured style suggest 2-3 years of cellaring are needed. It should age for 12-15 years.
Score: 85-88
A bit shy at midpalate, with supple cherry and plum notes coated in a light dusting of vanilla.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 17/20 points.
