A balanced and fruity 2011 with mineral, light floral and berry character. Medium to full body, racy tannins and a fresh finish. Vibrant for the vintage.
Once again an extremely drinkable 2011, with soft tannins, touches of liquorice and chocolate and soft leather. More evolved than the 2010 but I see it easily lasting as long as the 2009, and giving great pleasure along the way. The mineral character that La Lagune displays on the finish is clear here, making a mouthwatering finish. 50% new oak.
(60% cabernet sauvignon 35% merlot and 5% petit verdot): Deep, bright rubyred. Refined aromas of cassis, licorice, menthol and minerals. Then suave and surprisingly ripe in the mouth, but with well-judged extraction to the flavors of blueberry, graphite and minerals. Finishes long and fragrant, with vibrant tannins and a lovely floral note.
