Monday, September 4, 2023 - Great bottle. On the nose cedar, spice, dark fruit. I bit of orange on the rim. Lots of barn yard funk.... perhaps bretty in a good way. I have always found a good bit of bottle variation in the earlier Lanessans. On the pallet, black fruit, cassis, red fruits, Tabacco, polished wood. Med plus finish. Still good acid. I think it can still develop. I have four more bottles will hold for two more years and test again. I worry slightly about the bret on this bottle but like I said these tend to have lots of bottle variation. enjoy...classic claret! The cork on this bottle was very dry!
