A sleeper of the vintage as well as the finest wine I have yet tasted from this estate, Lalande-Borie is made by Ducru Beaucaillou’s proprietor, Bruno Borie. He has turned out a graceful, charming, seductive St.-Julien possessing a dense purple color and sweet cassis fruit intermixed with forest floor, spice box, and earth characteristics. This is a beauty to drink over the next decade.

Score 16/20 · Drink 2014-2022, Jancis Robinson MW, Apr 2006

Quite intense, neat nose. Nothing in excess. Sweet and ripe and rich. A bit rude and full and very open and in your face. Non classic – thought quite dry tannins on the finish. A note of black olives. Quite interesting. But overall impression is of relatively simple sweetness. (JR)
