CRITIC REVIEWS
Stephen Tanzer
Good medium ruby. Blackberry, espresso and spicy oak on the nose. Pliant, fairly rich flavors of black fruits and licorice. Finishes with lush tannins, a note of melting Valrhona chocolate and good length.

Tasted in Bordeaux from an ex-château bottle, the 2000 La Lagune has a ripe brambly red fruit, raspberry preserve and rose petal scented bouquet that is attractive, if not the most complex 2000 Claret you will find. The palate is medium-bodied with dry, slightly disjointed tannins and a rather hollow finish that lacks substance and length. You are left feeling shortchanged by this very average La Lagune. Tasted April 2015.

Very deep crimson but some disconcertingly green notes on the nose. There's acidity on the palate too. I suggested that the Windsors might like to serve this as a luncheon claret, possibly to Nordic visitors who don't want too much in the way of flesh.
