James Suckling: 95 Points
Great nose of blueberries, spices and hints of walnuts. Full body, with a lovely finish of well-integrated tannins and a long, long finish. This is structured yet all in finesse. Best in years. Try in 2018.
Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points
The tannins dominate this dark brooding wine. At this stage it seems to have closed up leaving the fruit and acidity buried. But with this concentration the future looks promising. There is a long aging potential here. ? Roger Voss
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
Currant mineral plum and light toasty oak follow through to a full body with ultrasilky tannins and a long caressing finish. This is thoroughly beautiful. Superbalanced and very pretty. Best after 2011. 24165 cases made. ? JS
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2005 Lagrange was picked from 21 September until 10 October. It has a harmonious and vigorous bouquet with blackberry cedar tobacco aromas and just a light estuarine scent that emerges with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins and much more mid-palate presence than prior vintages. There is more body and grip a sense of boldness towards the finish that should stand it in good stead for long-term ageing. Superb. Tasted at the Lagrange vertical at the estate.

Sweet, toasty, oaky notes interwoven with hints of black olives, blackberries, cassis, and spice box are found in this densely saturated ruby/purple-hued 2005. While rich, with impressive concentration and purity, it is also tannic, full-bodied, and painfully backward and foreboding. This is another long-term prospect that will require patience. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2027.Sweet, toasty, oaky notes interwoven with hints of black olives, blackberries, cassis, and spice box are found in this densely saturated ruby/purple-hued 2005.
