No formal notes. But a strong effort from this Chablis.

I'm just not feeling this at the moment. Seems boring, almost like a cheap new world wine. Better on night two but still not nearly as good as the '09. Probably just too young, but why isn't there more structure? Typically Lanessan has a lot of structure young: acid, tannin, touch of wood. This had... nothing. Okay. Will revisit on night three from mostly full bottle.

Popped and poured. Opaque purple colour – more or less black. On the nose; mostly black fruit, liquorish and wood, but also some faint green notes in the form of pine needles and bell peppers. On the palate; sweet fruit and viscous texture – lacks a little depth on the mid-palate, but has enough structure to prevent it from feeling too jammy. Definitely a BIG wine that won’t appeal to everybody, but in my view a fine example of this style of winemaking. Great value too – you could probably pay twice as much for a muscle Ribera without getting anything materially superior. Drinking well even now, but should keep past 2020 – one for the upcoming barbecue season (and the next one...).
