Pronounced aromas of black currant, raspberry, smoked wood, peppermint and black currant leaves. Fresh and vibrant on the palate. Medium plus body. High acidity. High, yet very fine tannins. Long finish. We find this to be a great example of Saint-Julien’s fresh and slightly red-berried style.
James Suckling: 92 Points
A juicy, flavorful red with chocolate, orange peel and plums. Medium body. Dusty tannins. Flavorful finish. A blend of 66% merlot and 34% cabernet sauvignon.
Vinous: 92 Points
The 2017 Lalande- Borie is a powerful, dense wine endowed with serious depth. Sadly, frost wiped out half of the crop. As for the wine itself, it is quite huge. Big and rich in the glass, Lalande - Borie offers serious intensity as well as structure. Sweet tobacco, menthol, licorice, spice and dried herbs add layers of nuance to this decidedly potent edition of Lalande-Borie.
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
Predominantly Merlot, this wine has soft tannins while also having the rich elegance of a Saint-Julien. Structure and density come both from the tannins and the generous blackberry flavors.
