Chateau Lagrave Paran 2009

Vintage 2005 and now 2009 have become absolute classics in Bordeaux. Chateau Lagrave Paran 2009 that a lot of you will be very familiar with, we have tried this alongside many Bordeaux blend wines from various areas and is just up there with a lot of them at double the price. Ideally this is something that should be kept for a little while, around 3-5 years and at $24.95, it is almost impossible to get any better. Medium to full bodied with hints of smoke, leather and dust yet with very clear and precise fruit, ripe, beautifully balanced with lovely structure and concentration. A wine that you would put alongside many others at $50 or $60 and is just as good, if not better. For those of you who know it, you will know exactly what we are talking about, and for those who haven’t tried it, it’s worth getting some so you will find out!
