Lots of dried fruit (raisin, prune) cigar box, tobacco.
The alcohol on the nose was very strong, but after about half an hour in a decanter it got quite nice. There was just the slightest hint of tannin left giving it somewhat of a backbone. Very fun to drink.
I had three of these I picked up as a gamble for $20 each. This was the third and unfortunately the last. A

1996 Château Lanessan

Very enjoyable after 30 - 45 minutes in the decanter.
Beautiful in the glass, a darker garnet.
Still has some fruit left with some earthy vegetal notes and cedar. Medium finish.
Really drinking wonderfully, and a good value if you can find it.

It was good. Very light, medium acidity, very refreshing. I enjoyed it, but probably would not buy again, not worth $20+
