The nose is poised and expressive, with blackcurrant, ripe plum, cedar, graphite, and subtle hints of tobacco, violets, and earthy spice.\n\nOn the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied with polished tannins, bright acidity, and a refined balance between dark fruit, savory nuance, and mineral drive. The 2011 vintage should be approachable now, yet it can continue to evolve gracefully over the coming years, gaining complexity and softness with further cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSourced from the Haut-Médoc on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, La Lagune benefits from gravelly soils that encourage drainage and help Cabernet-led blends achieve ripeness while retaining freshness.
