2022, Château Lanessan, HAUT-MEDOCBordeaux Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot Concentrated fruits on the nose and palate, lovely intensity of pure fruit this has clarity and a juicy core. Feels a touch tannic right now, covering up some of the fruit, but the initial expression was really delightful and this should be nice once the tannins melt a little. This has style and a juicy fun friendliness. 90 Georgina Hindle, Decanter Firm slightly drying tannins, grilled smoked

A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon

but it is excellent

88-90 William Kelley

It's nicely balanced

rich with galestro (rocky schist) and clay

eager to make an impression

but lovely fruit purity

loamy soil and truffle

high-acid edge than overtly plush

displaying just the right amount of bitterness to lend edge on the entry

Intellectual

I loved this en primeur
