Description
A final blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot from the Frey family, the 2005 is a gorgeous La Lagune, and one of the first great ones under the Frey administration. This wine has a dense ruby/purple color, a beautiful nose of sandalwood, black raspberries, and cassis, silky sweet tannin, medium to full body, and a textured, long, pure mouthfeel and finish. This wine is probably 3-4 years away from prime-time drinking, but it should evolve gorgeously for another 20-25 years.

Tasting note
2005年的拉拉貢酒莊展現了豐富的風味與優雅的平衡，是高梅多克產區的典範。酒體呈現迷人的中等至深紅寶石色澤，散發出經典的梅多克區特有的紅醋栗葉香和烤橡木的香氣。口感上，柔和的深紅色水果風味得到良好的酸度和結實的結構支撐，最後以雪松的餘韻優雅地收尾。經過耐心精準的釀造和法國橡木桶陳年，這款獲得有機認證的佳釀以其平衡、細膩和優雅而聞名。現正處於最佳飲用期，非常適合搭配烤羊肉或烤牛排，並有著悠長的陳年潛力。
The 2005 Chateau La Lagune is a testament to the finesse and balance that the Haut-Medoc region can produce. With an inviting medium to deep ruby-red hue, this wine exudes classical Medoc aromas of leafy redcurrant and toasty oak. The palate is graced with supple dark red fruits, supported by good acidity and a fair structure, culminating in a cedary finish that lingers with grace. A patient and precise vinification, along with aging in French oak barrels, has resulted in a wine recognized for its balance, finesse, and elegance. This organic certified gem, now in its prime, pairs beautifully with roast lamb or grilled steak, and promises to evolve splendidly for years to come.
