Château Lagrange 2005 Saint-Julien (75cl)

Château Lagrange 2005 is a red wine from Saint-Julien on Bordeaux's left bank, with twenty years in bottle. A left bank blend of this age has usually shifted from primary fruit into a savoury, complex register. It suits an occasion such as a milestone dinner, a 2005 anniversary, or a gift for a collector. An aged left bank Bordeaux blend typically shows dried blackcurrant, tobacco leaf, cedar and leather, with earthy notes replacing the fresh fruit and tannins that have gone soft and fine.
