- The excellent Chateau Lagrange is one of St. Juliens great wines - powerful, full-bodied and concentrated. The vintages since 1985 introduce ripe fruit aromas of rich black currant and cherry, spicy, toasty new oak, minerals, and in some vintages cedar and charcoal. They are appealing when young but also have great potential for long aging. They are also very reasonably priced for their level of quality, and dependably fine 7-20 years following their vintage.

- Served with Viel ossobuco, great paring. Very intense secondary notes, bordeaux style. Full body and great balance, thought the vintage was regular but regular bordeaux is definately better then most new world stuff. [90]

- Drank in 2007. At 10 years old, it is fully mature and will not improve with more age. Light bodied and "watery", indicative of the wet '97 season. Yet it is real bordeaux and the pedigree of this chateau comes through
