La Lagune 1996

750 ml Cabernet Sauvignon Bordeaux, France 1996

La Lagune 1996 is a dry, very full-bodied red from Cabernet Sauvignon (Médoc, France), in the full, structured reds style. Tannins are very firm and acidity fresh; oak influence is noticeable. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 30-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with steak, lamb, venison, cheese board. No merchant in this catalogue lists it now; Hedonism Wines last did on 2026-10-14.
