Grenat brillant , nez frais de fruit mûr et de liqueur, attaque vineuse, bouche d'une grande densité riche et harmonieuse, la finale tannique rappelle que ce La Lagune est un vrai Médoc. Il sera à l'aise avec une lamproie à la Bordelaise.

Wine Advocate-Parker :
This is a tannic, austere 1996, but it is well-endowed. Copious aromas of spicy new oak are present in the moderately intense bouquet, as well as cherry notes intertwined with dried herbs. The wine is medium-bodied and well-made, with good spice, a slight austerity, and moderate tannin in the long finish. In many vintages La Lagune can be drunk at an early age, but this effort will require 5-6 years of patience. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2018.
