Already in the start of its drinking window.
Pleasant wine with some fresh fruit and herbs. (319 views) | | | Tasted by philtheone on 1/15/2024 & rated 89 points: Pas de signe de bonification potentiel, bon mais finale courte, cuir, quelques notes tertiaires. (1502 views) | | | Tasted by melvinyeowq on 1/9/2024 & rated 90 points: Casual weekday dinner wines: A little polished and plummy for my liking with liquorice, cassis notes, but wasn't over-extracted or oaked. Modern but restrained, with a pleasant savoury element. (1649 views) | | | Tasted by stamperb on 1/6/2024 & rated 89 points: Nose: Tart cassis, wildflowers, sweet vanilla, sweet and sour sauce, crushed stone. Palate: Chocolate covered dark cherries, mildly bitter wet dark wood; rounded tannins that have a warming prickle to them. Held up very well and consistently over two days. (1396 views) | | | Tasted by dwynne on 12/14/2023 & rated 85 points: Not unpleasant, but it’s pretty flat and dull, lacking any complexity. Disappointing. (1290 views) | | | Tasted by theRealPepe on 11/26/2023 & rated 88 points: Savory with tertiary dried fruit and a short finish. A nice bottle for a family feast but nothing more. From a magnum. Very Good. (1446 views) | | | Tasted by chatters on 7/29/2023: Coravin fun - Bordeaux and Mosel (My place, Kent Street): from Coravin. Medium minus intensity aromas. This is a slightly more austere version of the 2009; the fruit more compote, the spice a little more savoury, tiny touch of cedar. Juicy tends to medium plus intensity acidity, slightly chalky textured tannins, dilute fruit is quite muted and the tannins persists past it. Meh. (1882 views) | | | Tasted by CWilliam on 5/23/2023 & rated 91 points: Last of 7 bottles. Dark red color, nearly black. On nose, red currants, cassis, plum and dark cherry. On palate, medium+ body, medium acidity / tannins and long finish. More fruit on palate than nose has suggested. This has aged very well. 91+ (2058 views) | | | Tasted by garrigue65 on 4/4/2023 & rated 86 points: Did not decant, could have been an error. meh. (2215 views) | | | Tasted by Richard Nabavi on 3/10/2023 & rated 91 points: Decanted for a couple of hours, and also tried the next day (with little change).
This is coming on very nicely. Fairly deep colour, good nose of moderate intensity. On the palate it's medium-weight but is now well-knit, and the tannins are well integrated. Agreeable if slightly short on the finish.
A good mid-range claret which is now ready to drink, but will probably improve further. Very good QPR. (2173 views) | | | Tasted by asgerG on 2/22/2023 & rated 91 points: DnP. Consistent (2024 views) | | | Tasted by stefad on 2/19/2023 & rated 91 points: En demie bouteille, le cru commence à s'ouvrir, très bon rapport qualité prix. (1848 views) | | | Tasted by chefdilletante on 12/1/2022: Rounded out significantly after two hours of air. Dusty nose. Angular black fruit and good lift. No hurry to open. (2129 views) | | | Tasted by James Kim on 10/29/2022 & rated 88 points: At a tasting at Classic. Shy aromas of unripe blueberries, herbs and stems. Palate w ripe blackberries and dilute blueberries, cassis, some leather. Still prominent tannins. Disjointed and I think it's still too early for this. Open next bottle in 3 - 5 yrs to see wine integrates more. (2076 views) | | | Tasted by Avid Wino on 10/16/2022 & rated 91 points: Jasmine, cassis, touch of blueberry, dark cherry. Cedar, dirt, dried herbs. Satisfying granular ropey tannin. Concentrated. Enough length. Enjoyed this. (2127 views) | | | Tasted by Doncassens on 10/10/2022 & rated 90 points: Quite good. Thoroughly enjoyable. (2231 views) | | | Tasted by Julian Marshall on 9/8/2022 & rated 91 points: Unlike others, I didn't find this ready at all! My cellar is cold so that could explain it, but it came as a surprise since every other CB I've had from 2010 has been ready for several years.
Anyway, on the first night it was tough going - very compact and concentrated, so I recorked it and came back three days later: much more accessible, with a very attractive nose of spring flowers, cinnamon, blackcurrant and spicy raspberry. In the mouth, still quite reserved, but good notes of blackberry and blueberry, with a little Asian spice, then some cooling blackcurrant on the finish.
For now I liked the elegance of the mouthfeel, there's a class to this wine that not all CBs have shown in 2010, but for me this is several years from maturity and could be very good indeed. (2471 views) | | | Tasted by asgerG on 9/2/2022 & rated 92 points: PnP. Consistent with btl tasted 27/1-2018. Drink now - 2030
+3h: opened up with complex classic Haut-Medoc bouquet, cedar, pencil, jasmin, dark fruits and more. Well balanced palate with tannins on retreat. Elegant finish. (1920 views) | | | Tasted by PeterMcI on 7/29/2022 & rated 90 points: A solid, enjoyable but unremarkable wine. Drink now to 2025. (2101 views) | | | Tasted by Outplaying on 7/21/2022: Tasted blind. Smells like a young Bordeaux, with some herbal, earthy notes. Reddish fruit, somewhat lean, medium plus acidity, a fair amount of tannin. Guessed a young Bordeaux, 2016 vintage. I was surprised to find out this was a 2010. This still seems young. I enjoyed though. (2111 views) | | | Tasted by PBANGELO on 4/16/2022 & rated 87 points: Same as note of 2015. Some Chalk and green peppers. Otherwise Closed and unremarkable. (2492 views) | | | Tasted by Grinner on 3/31/2022 & rated 90 points: A 20$ bottle I meant to drink a long time ago! Open nose from a foot or two away during decant. Sappy black fruit with cigar, pencil and spice. Not particularly deep / cerebral, but WHO CARES! The pairing tonight: BBQ glazed prosciutto wrapped "colossal" prawns. Who knew? This bottle was nicely resolved, drink now-2025, but really?! The space in your cellar is for better bottles... (2371 views) | | | Tasted by KVM on 3/21/2022: Firm, fresh. Good with fatty food, today. (2464 views) | | | Tasted by Brian Glas on 2/18/2022 & rated 90 points: Tasted after 1 hour of air. Dark fruits. Drying tannins. Plenty of lift on the mid palate. Nice smooth finish. (2410 views) | | | Tasted by CWilliam on 2/3/2022: Notes on PNP. Black/red in glass. On nose, red currants, tobacco and plum. Medium body/acidity/tannin. More fruit on palate than nose (including dark cherry). Still young but drinking great now. 90+ (2406 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

| Château Lanessan Producer website | Read more About Chateau LanessanRed Bordeaux BlendRed Bordeaux is generally made from a blend of grapes. Permitted grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and rarely Carménère.Today Carménère is rarely used, with Château Clerc Milon, a fifth growth Bordeaux, being one of the few to still retain Carménère vines. As of July 2019, Bordeaux wineries authorized the use of four new red grapes to combat temperature increases in Bordeaux. These newly approved grapes are Marselan, Touriga Nacional, Castets, and Arinarnoa.
Wineries all over the world aspire to making wines in a Bordeaux style. In 1988, a group of American vintners formed The Meritage Association to identify wines made in this way. Although most Meritage wines come from California, there are members of the Meritage Association in 18 states and five other countries, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Israel, and Mexico.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

History of Bordeaux
History of 1855 Bordeaux Classification
"2009 is all about ripeness, with wines impressively packed with ripe fruit and high alcohol levels. They are showy, in-your-face, and full of pleasure. The 2010s have the fruit and alcohol levels of the 2009s, but with a compelling freshness on the finish that balances the fruit and provides a perfect sense of structure." - Ben Nelson
"2016 is a landmark vintage in certain spots of Bordeaux and it should be remembered as one of the most inspired campaigns of the last 40-50+ years." -Jon Rimmerman
"The quality of red Bordeaux in 2016 was universally lauded – although the response to the en primeur campaign was muted. Quantity was high too, with the equivalent of 770 million bottles of wine produced. An exceptionally dry summer with cool nights eventually, thanks to mid September rain, resulted in small, thick-skinned, ripe grapes, and the wines are marked by high tannin and acidity, with superb aromatic fragrance." - Jancis Robinson
"2017 was complicated, but there are some excellent wines. Expect plenty of freshness and drinkability from wines that will offer excellent value, and others that will rival 2016 in terms of ripeness and ageability. But they are likely to be the exception not the rule, making careful selection key." - Jane Anson
"In the past, a vintage such as 2022 may have been overripe, raisined and low in acidity but 2022 had a sneaky little reservoir in its back pocket - a near perfect marriage of cool/cold/rain the previous winter and the previous vintage that literally soaked the soils (a key to why 2022 is not 2003...or 1893)." - Jon RimmermanMédoc Vins du Médoc (Conseil des Vins du Médoc) - Read More about the Medoc
VdB
The eight precisely defined appellations of the whole of the Médoc (from Blanquefort Brook to the north of the Bordeaux built-up area, almost to the Pointe de Grave) may claim the Médoc appellation. But there is also a specific territory in the north of the peninsula which produces exclusively wines with this appellation. In the great majority, the Médocs come from the north of the peninsula. The great individuality of this region is that the number of vines has increased more recently here than elsewhere, apart from a few isolated spots where vines have grown for many years. Today, the size of the small estate has brought about the development of a powerful co-operative movement. Four co-operatives out of five belong to the group called Unimédoc which ensures aging, bottling and marketing a large proportion of their wines.Haut-Médoc Read more about Haut Medoc and its wines Long-standing fame The legally created division into Médoc and Haut-Médoc dates from 1935. But as long ago as 1815 a Chartrons broker, whose word carried weight, spoke of great red wines in the Haut-Médoc, so recognizing the high quality successfully achieved by this region's growers in the eighteenth century. The same Bordeaux broker revealed that the business world of the Chartrons and the great Bordeaux proprietors had established a sort of league-table of the parishes in which the vine-growing communes of today's Haut-Médoc appellation showed up well.
The Haut-Médoc appellation stretches over some thirty seven miles from north to south, from Saint-Seurin de Cadourne to Blanquefort. Within this area, certain zones produce wines exclusively with the Haut-Médoc appellation. It has terroirs of remarkable quality. And although we may note a certain predominance of layers of gravel (essentially Garonne gravel) from the Quaternary, all these sites are characterized by their wide diversity. Today in the southernmost communes of the appellation, the suburbs of Bordeaux, numerous vineyards which existed at the beginning of the twentieth century have disappeared, victims of urban expansion. But the vines live on... because man has retained his devotion to them.
The astonishing variety of different terroirs, the result of the very extent of the area, explains the diversity of Haut-Médoc wines, a fact which is rare within one and the same appellation.
But, over and above the differences, linked to this mosaic of climatic and geological influence, all these wines have the same family traits of character.
Alert and lively, full-bodied without being too powerful, and harmoniously balanced, they acquire a rare bouquet over the years.
In order to have the right to the Haut-Médoc appellation of controlled origin, red wines must:
- come from the communes of Blanquefort, Le Taillan, Parempuyre, Le Pian, Ludon, Macau, Arsac, Labarde, Cantenac, Margaux, Avensan, Castelnau, Soussans, Arcins, Moulis, Listrac, Lamarque, Cussac, Saint-Laurent de Médoc, Saint-Julien, Pauillac, Saint-Sauveur, Cissac, Saint-Estèphe, Vertheuil, Saint-Seurin de Cadourne "excluding all the parcels situated on recent alluvium and sand on impermeable subsoils",
- satisfy precise production conditions : grape-varieties (Cabernet-Sauvignon, Cabernet-Franc, Carmenère, Merlot Noir, Petit Verdot, Cot or Malbec), minimum of sugar (178 grammes - 6.27 oz. - per litre of must) degree (an acquired 10°5) base yield (48 hectolitres per hectare).
