Château Lanessan
Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend
Haut-Médoc, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
(16/20) Насыщенный букет с доминированием третичных ароматов (кожа, хьюмидор); специи (мускатный орех, корица); сухие черные ягоды. Высокая кислотность, интенсивные сухие, вяжущие танины. Тельное. Во вкусе существенно более ягодное, чем в аромате - больше ежевики и чёрной смородины. Долгое послевкусие.

Just a little past its peak but still drinkable. Still getting fruit on the nose and some tannins on finish.

Decanted for about 2 hours and it was just 'not there'. Expectations were not met. Seemed very thin for a Bordeaux.

Was interesting comparing this with the 2004 Meyney as part of Friday steak night. At first this showed loads of bitterness and dominant, unpleasant metallic notes. Over 3 hours the metallic notes faded and this revealed some red fruit and peppery notes, but the bitterness never quite got to a place I liked. I'm curious to see what Lanessan is like at 5 or 10 years--seemed faded at 15 years.
