Curiosity about a slightly older la Nerthe became too big, and one of my 2004 or lost their lives on Sunday. Veal burger with herbs and black olives; potatoes roasted in the oven along with zucchini, eggplant and peppers and a creme fraiche mess with herbs, garlic housetrip and honey constituted good company. 2007: an in recent memory was the initial acquaintance some disappointment. The smell seemed rather closed and bland, and although the structure and the acid was there felt the taste well dull and drab. Absolutely not defective, just ... dumb? Syrah tunnel!? Slightly disappointed got the rest stand in the decanter into the wine room overnight. Today, however, it was a different tune. The scent had a completely different complexity, with dark fruits housetrip (plums), and berries (blackberries), but also dried strawberries, some herbs and some minerality. In the mouth it was fresh, tart with an almost Italian bitter cherry tone, yet distinct features of sweet licorice, some earthiness and maturity notes of leather. Simply housetrip put, a better and more interesting housetrip wine than the day before. However, I missed actually healthy raspberries from 2007: an ... A mix 50-50 by the two wines perhaps!? Earlier in the weekend was craving for a ostvänlig bordeaux big. You know, a little maturity but with clear cassis / pencil / cedar tones ... You would think that it was the staple at my house, but I had noticeably difficult to find someone that I wanted to sacrifice for a basically quite simple occasion. As my gaze fell on the lowest shelf in the side shelf, where - forgotten - stood a half-full box Lagrange 2004. Bought at SB primeur and never tested. Time now! Long story short so the wine was just what I was looking housetrip for and met expectations well. Maturity-wise felt like heading into the right phase, but still young. Not at all thick, unruly gräddkoladoftande as 2004 Léoville-Poyferré the other year (although hopefully housetrip have a greater potential ...). Drinkable, pleasurable with clear, classic left bank complexion, good length, medium bodied and well balanced. Maybe a little weak on the tannins, but that's an aside on a really good wine! Five good bottles left, I hope ...
