Score 86/100 · Drink 1992-2027, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Dec 2022
The last vintage produced before its acquisition by Suntory, the 1982 Lagrange opens in the glass with aromas of smoky berries and cherries mingled with notions of gravelly soil. Medium-bodied, lively and charming, with an earthy, smoky finish, it was produced from yields of 56 hectoliters per hectare, back in the days when there was no second wine, but it remains a creditable effort.

Score 14.5/20 · Drink 2004-2008, Jancis Robinson MW, Jul 2002
Healthy, deep ruby. Tea flavours and cinnamon notes. Certainly different. Not fine, but relatively youthful for its status. (JR)
