Lagune Vintage:2005 Firm reduction overshadows the fruitMuch deeper in colour than the 2004, this is more concentrated than the previous vintage but still showcases elegant balance, and again is such a drinkable, beautiful wine. A reflection of just how good the 2005 vintage is, with plenty of tannins and freshness at 15 years old. Blackberry and raspberry fruit still plentiful, merging with a gentle smattering of earth and autumn leaves that float you through the finish. A yield of 30hl ha. 50% new oak.
