The 1971 La Lagune is one of the hidden gems of this growing season that never favoured Médoc. This bottle, close on the heels of another tasted in December, has a lovely, quite marine-influenced bouquet neatly interwoven into the tertiary black fruit. Touches of tobacco emerge with time. The palate exerting gentle grip, finely balanced, rather conservative yet with fine length, and hints of cedar towards the finish. Classy and understated. (Drink between 2022-2032)
