Chateau Lanessan, Haut Medoc 2018

93 points James Suckling
"Black-plum, dried-herb, tobacco and some meaty aromas. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, fine tannins. Savory and salty finish. Tight and layered. Drink from 2023."

92 points Decanter
"I have enjoyed Lanessan over the last few years, and there's a lot to take note of here. It's a pretty serious take on the vintage with a strong architecture of cassis fruits, pencil lead and slate, more 2016 than 2015 in style. It should age well. Good value. Harvested 24 September to 16 October. Ageing is in 33% new oak."

Jancis Robinson
"Diam closure.
Tasted blind. Deep blackish crimson. Pale rim. Correct, stony nose reminds me of St-Estèphe. Round palate entry and the fruit pretty much covers the ripe tannins. 16.5/20 points."
