Château Lanessan Haut Médoc 2019

The 2019 Lanessan is a powerful, deep wine. Grilled herbs, pepper, sage, mint and tobacco lend notable aromatic intensity. The Cabernet is especially marked here. Lanessan is pretty assertive in 2019. There is quite a bit of Cabernet savoriness and tannin.

The 2019 Lanessan continues to perform very well, wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet berries, licorice and fresh tobacco. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with rich, powdery tannins and a vibrant core of fruit, it's a fine effort from a property with immense potential.

Shows a warm earth note that drapes gently over a core of steeped plum and cassis, with singed balsam wood and cedar accents on the finish. An understated style that should have a little staying power. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2029. 20,000 cases made, 2,500 cases imported.
