Lagrange produced a joyous cabernet in 2005, with the lovely textural fatness and kindness of tannin that places it clearly in St-Julien. The dark fruit has youthful energy, and the tannins have a woodsy undertone, like biting into a fresh grilled porcini. The purity of the flavour makes it delicious; that fruit purity is the factor distinguishing the best wines of the vintage. In the case of Lagrange, it will make the wine approachable through the course of a long life, though if you find pleasure in the details, wait on this until it's at least ten years old and check on it at twenty.

Currant, mineral, plum and lightly toasty oak follow through to a whole body with ultra-silky tannins and a long, caressing finish. This is thoroughly beautiful. Super balanced and very pretty.
91 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Sweet, toasty, oaky notes interwoven with hints of black olives, blackberries, cassis, and spice box are found in this densely saturated ruby/purple-hued 2005. While rich, with impressive concentration and purity, it is also tannic, full-bodied, and painfully backward and foreboding. This is another long-term prospect that will require patience. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2027.
