Vinous – Neil Martin – 92-94/100
The 2022 La Lagune really takes a while to settle in the glass. It eventually
sheds its veneer of oak to reveal attractive blackberry, sous-bois and
pencil box aromas, and an exotic element loitering just off-stage. The
palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannins that lacquer the mouth. Quite
dense and muscular, yet it retains definition and plenty of freshness on
the finish. It will require bottle age, but it should evolve into a fine La
Lagune.
Robert Parker The Wine Advocate – 93-95/100
Reminding me, like the 2019, of a modern-day version of the lovely 1990, the 2022 La Lagune bursts with aromas of dark berries, cassis, licorice and violets. Medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, it’s a broad, sensual wine with velvety tannins and a suave, charming profile. With 13.8% alcohol, it remains classically proportioned, with a rather high pH of over 3.8 likely contributing to its open, giving style this year.
