- 92 Punkte DECANTER, Steven Spurrier: Superb black-purple colour, lovely expression of summer fruits on the nose, fine fleshy texture with 10 Petit Verdot adding grip to the natural tannins, already supple but with a great future. 2016-2028.
- 92 Punkte VINOUS, Neal Martin: The 2012 La Lagune has a perfumed, lifted bouquet that is much more dynamic and floral than the 2011: black cherries, raspberry preserve, crushed violet and a touch of iodine. There is a lot going on here! The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine thread of acidity, plenty of spice-tinged red fruit that feels deftly integrated with the oak. It gently fans out towards the second half with impressive composure. This does not have to do too much to impress and the result is a La Lagune imbued with drinkability even at this early stage. Personally, I would afford it another five years in bottle, but I would not blame anyone for broaching this now. Tasted at the La Lagune vertical at the château. 2020-2040.
- 91 Punkte James Suckling: Intense nose of blackberries with hints of cedar and spices. Tar, too. This is a full-bodied red with chewy tannins, lovely acidity and a long, fruity finish. Drink from 2018.
- 91 Punkte WINE CELLAR INSIDER, Jeff Leve: Produced using a blend of 56 Cabernet Sauvingnon, 26 Merlot and 18 Petit Verdot, the wine displays a fresh, black raspberry, spicy, olive tapanade character. There is freshness and crisp, peppery, spicy, fresh red berries coupled with thyme and pepper in the tannic finish. Give it another 5-7 more years to develop. This could have the highest concentration of Petit Verdot in the blend for the estate and 18.
- 91 Punkte DECANTER, Jane Anson: A great quality 2012, these are pretty serious tannins that are still very much on form, holding the cassis and bilberry fruit together, with clear black pepper and saffron notes filling out the mid palate. Packed with gourmet richness, a lovely wine. 50 new oak. 2020-2040.
- 90 Punkte Adrian van Velsen-vvWine.ch (022024): (56 Cabernet Sauvignon, 26 Merlot, 18 Petit Verdot, 13 Alkohol) Kräftiges Rubin, keine Alterstöne. Die Nase ist dunkelfruchtig geprägt, Brombeeren, Kirschen, Zedernholz. Im Gaumen auf dem Punkt, noch immer Frucht, getragen von bereits gut verpacktem Tannin und einer stimmigen Säure. Im Abgang lang, ausgewogen. Ein Wein der aktuell viel Trinkspass bietet. Bis 2035 geniessen.
- 1720 Punkte VINUM Magazin: Klassischer geht es nicht: beginnt fruchtig und rund, das Tannin ist von mittlerer Dichte, doch ohne Härte, frisches, krautig-saftiges Finale. ;
