(Château Lanessan) Very dark red violet color; tart currant, aromatic, vanilla oak nose; tart currant, tart red plum palate with medium acidity and firm tannins; medium-plus finish
(Chateau Lanessan) Good stuff. Cheap B2K, hands down, are the best values for Cabernet based wines in the marketplace today. I could not believe how rich, sophisticated and complex this wine was for all of $15.99 a bottle. Astounding. Nose of cassis, red cherry skins, cocoa powder, minerals, earth, redcurrants. Gorgeous high-toned nose. Bright, juicy, ripe & rich on the palate with red cherry, cassis and great mineral complexity on the finish. Does not hit you over the head with its' power but this is an elegant gorgeously delineated wine with surprising complexity. This will age too.
