Chateau Lanessan Haut-Medoc 2008

Château Lanessan is a true bargain in the Bordeaux world. Lanessan produces wines that at first seem firm but flesh out with marvelous fruit with good richness. Lanessan is also a very consistent producer, creating wines of quality from questionable vintages. The 2008 wasn't one of those with an ample sunshine to ripen the fruit fully to produce a wine of immediate enjoyment.

Complex, subtle bouquet. Lovely mouthfeel with fleshy tannins and a persistent finish. Good ageing potential.
