The Wine Advocate
RP 89
Lagrange's recent vintages are powerfully constructed wines made to survive several decades of aging with grace and complexity. The dark ruby-colored 1985 is deep, rich, long, and, for a 1985, surprisingly backward and tannic. Medium bodied, elegant, and packed with fruit, it is a long-distance runner. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Last tasted, 1/97.
