Chateau Lagrange, Saint-Julien, France 2015 Faizeau blackberry and boysenberry fruit flavorsOne of the furthest west of the Saint Julien estates, this property has been greatly improved with investment from Japanese owner Suntory. The wine from 2015 is dense and impressively concentrated, perfumed black currant fruits working well with the crisp acidity and solid structure. 95 Pts Wine Enthusiast
