Description
This impeccably run, Japanese-owned property has fashioned a superb 1996. Opaque purple-colored, with a backward yet promising nose of classically pure cassis intermixed with pain grille and spice, this medium to full-bodied, powerful yet stylish wine possesses superb purity, a nicely-layered feel in the mouth, and plenty of structure. It will not be an early-drinking St.-Julien, but one to lay away and enjoy over the next 2-3 decades. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2022.

Tasting note
1993年的力關酒莊展現了調和藝術的極致,精心融合了赤霞珠、梅洛和小維多三種葡萄品種。這款由著名的三得利公司擁有的酒,是聖朱利安風土的經典代表。它呈現出一種鹹香的風味,以黑醋栗、烤麵包和一絲香料為主骨架。橡木桶的陳年使其結構複雜,承諾著優雅的演變。建議醒酒一小時,以充分體驗其層次豐富的質感和精緻的優雅。
The 1993 Chateau Lagrange is a testament to the art of blending, showcasing a harmonious interplay between Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. This wine, owned by the esteemed Suntory, is a classic representation of Saint-Julien terroir. It presents a savory profile with a backbone of cassis, toasted bread, and a hint of spice. The maturation in oak barrels has imparted a structured complexity that promises a graceful evolution. Decanting for an hour is recommended to fully appreciate its layered texture and refined elegance.
