Score 87/100 · Robert Parker
The 1970 La Lagune is still surprisingly firm, but, I believe, fully mature. It has a dark ruby color, a big, plummy, woodsy, and mushroom-like bouquet, full-bodied, deep, concentrated, berryish fruit flavors, good tannins, and a long finish. This is a fine La Lagune that falls just short of being outstanding. Anticipated maturity: Now-2000. Last tasted, 1/91 (from a magnum). Jan 1998, www.robertparker.com
