1983 CHÂTEAU LAGRANGE 1983

(10-1994)
Very good and straightforward with lead pencil, plum and berry character, medium body and very firm tannins.

(01-1998)
Potentially a sleeper of this vintage, Lagrange is deep in color, spicy, and rich, with full-bodied, briery, cassis flavors, good firm tannins, and a long finish. If the wine resembles the style of Leoville-Las Cases, it's not surprising because Michel Delon, the gifted winemaker at Las Cases, oversaw the vinification of Lagrange in 1983.
