Young but showing beautifully -- tar, dark fruit, violet, full of power. — 8 years ago

Holding up nicely, the vintage character comes through as this is a subtle Bordeaux marrying elegance and power nicely with good acidity and plenty of tannin that is starting to soften. Not a long term aged this should go another 10 easy. — 10 years ago

Such power, such width (girth?) but still tension and balance. A beauty even if still a baby. Needs an hour at least right now. — 10 years ago

More structured than the Vogue. Tons of fine ground spice and dark berry fruit. Elegant while still letting its power known. — 10 years ago

Sweet cherry fruits, soaring aromatics and so much power but so much finesse. Baking spices and very floral showing an elegant nature with hidden tannins lurking, still very young but what a future with great class and breed.

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to taste the three La La's from the 1999 vintage side by side last night. La Turque was, by far, the most concentrated and frankly, massive of the three. Impressive aromas of dust, earth, iron, game, spice, damp clay, blood, meat and bone. Sculpted layers of flavor, depth and sheer power continue in the mouth with brooding black fruit, mouth-coating, yet balanced tannins, a compelling animal quality, savory notes, dollops of spice. This wine is an amazing, bordering on spiritual journey. — 11 years ago

Great fruit. Such power, yet ripeness perfectly in check. This has decades ahead but is absorbing right now. Really very good — 10 years ago

Giving absolute credence to the reputation that the wines from the Margaux commune show, both displayed an elegance allied with a subtle power and perfect balance, especially 2005.

2000 had a trace pyrazine note that I found unexpected, and quite frankly not that enjoyable. Outside of that the wine was perfect. The second bottle did not throw it as strong, so not exactly in the clear on this night.

The 2005 was in perfect shape, drink now or age it another 20 years easy, this was so enjoyable and balanced with perfect tannin integration and a seamless, dense and pure finish that sailed on forever.

Real depth and power in this wine. Less aromatic fireworks than the RSV but still very beautiful. Needs at least a couple if hours or air to get going. A real treat! — 12 years ago
