2022 Chateau Lanessan

Other Reviews....
Ripe and open on the nose - expressive scents of dark, sun-kissed fruit. Concentrated on the palate but with such a lovely weight and texture - slightly grippy, slightly chewy and cool overall. Feels nicely balanced, round and forward. Calm and fresh. Juicy strawberries with mint and aniseed. Drink 2026-2036.

Georgina Hindle - Decanter

The 2022 Lanessan is bold and punchy right out of the gate. A blast of blue/purplish fruit, lavender, sage, menthol and licorice makes a strong first impression. Lanessan speaks with authority. It is quite assertive yet also poised, with fine balance and plenty of potential for the future. Drink 2027-2037.

Antonio Galloni - Vinous

A well-balanced, velvety and comforting red, showing forest berries, dried herbs and dried spices. Medium-bodied with chalky tannins. Juicy blue-fruit character on the palate. The focused, flavorful finish has excellent length. Drink from 2026.

James Suckling

Cigar box, licorice, espresso, and black currants with a trickle of chocolate define the core of this wine. From there, it gets even better with its fresh, juicy mouthful of blackberries, cocoa dust, and herbs. This is another screaming Left Bank value wine that consumers seeking serious QPR should be all over. Drink from 2026-2045.
