This 1995 Saint-Julien from Château Lagrange presents the classical structure and restraint characteristic of mature Left Bank Bordeaux. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petite Verdot has evolved gracefully over nearly three decades, developing secondary aromas alongside its original dark fruit profile. At 13.5% alcohol, the wine maintains elegant proportions and considerable aging potential, though it has reached an approachable maturity. The linear tannin architecture and mineral undertones suggest careful cellaring in oak has shaped a wine of notable refinement, ideal alongside roasted game or aged beef consumed at a contemplative pace.
