Wine Spectator: 92 Points

"Aromas of blackberry and currant with just a hint of black licorice follow through to a full-bodied palate with fine tannins and subtle ripe fruit giving licorice and mineral undertones. Complex and refined. Very well done."

Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points

A dark, dry, brooding wine, which has flavors of blackberries and red plum skins, which is not at all dominated by wood. This is a classic wine, with Saint-Julien's elegance and 2003's power. Imported by Diageo Chateau & Estates.

The Wine Independent: 91 Points

The 2003 Lagrange is a blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, and 10% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-brick in color, it needs a little swirling before bursting out with scents of dried blackberries and plum preserves leading to suggestions of unsmoked cigars and forest floor. The medium-bodied palate has a sturdy frame of chewy tannins and plenty of freshness to support the muscular fruit, finishing savory.

James Suckling

I really love the character of dark berries such as blueberries and currants here. Some rose leaf too. Full body with fine tannins and a savory, fruity, silky-textured finish. Very fine indeed. Drink or hold.
