A mature, classic expression of Saint-Julien from a legendary Bordeaux vintage, the 1982 Château Lagrange offers a profoundly evolved and savory bouquet. The nose reveals intricate aromas of dark tobacco, dried cedar, forest floor, and roasted plum, intertwined with subtle hints of olive and cracked pepper. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fully resolved, seamlessly integrated tannins, presenting a sophisticated, earthy profile where tertiary notes gracefully lead the remaining dark fruit. It concludes with a refined, lingering finish accented by elegant spice, dried herbs, and a gentle mineral grace.
Food Pairing: Beautifully complements roasted lamb, herb-crusted beef tenderloin, wild mushroom risotto, or aged hard cheeses like Comté.
94 Points - Wine Spectator
One of the sleepers of the vintage. Traditional and rich. Dark ruby-colored, with a slight garnet rim. Masses of berry, chocolate and raspberry character. Full-bodied and very tannic, packed with fruit. Lengthy finish. A youthful and concentrated wine; a relatively good value.--1982 Bordeaux horizontal.
