TN Ch. La Lagune 1966
Chateau La Lagune is in the Haut-Medoc between the south end of Margaux
and the city of Bordeaux. The bottle I opened was in excellent condition and had been properly stored. The color is still fairly deep with only a moderate amount of age apparent around the rim. The bouquet is still intense with cassis and some herbal notes. There is a quite noticable bell pepper note that I more often associate with certain young California Cabernets than with well-aged Bordeaux. There is ample acid. The tannins are resolved and a bit on the dry side as in many others from this vintage. This wine has held up better than many others from 66. In fact, it was in better shape than a 66 Lafite I tasted a few months ago. This is a classic style of Bordeux that probably would be liked better by Broadbent than by Parker. |
