5th Annual Pilgrimage to Chateau Lanessan (and its 200 year old cellar ); 8/17/2012-8/19/2012 (Chateau Lanessan, Bordeaux): The mystery of the 1900 Lanessan continues. Much like the one we tried 4 years ago, again from Chateau Lanessan's family cellar, this was an aged fortified wine. Probably Rivesalt or any fortified wine from the south. Or maybe an experiment 100 yrs ago to fortify some wines.. Who knows! Ne of the great experiences of having a 150 year old cellar. For the record what ever the fortified wine was it was very nice with a light brown colour and lots of spirit to it!

Ah the 1900 Lanessan. The Mystery of the one dank on 15/08/09 still remains. The guys at Lanessan tried another one on the 16th and this one was a proper old lanessan. Brick read mild colour and body. Nothing beats to having your own chateau i guess...

Ah the mystery of the 1900 Lanessan. The amount of sediment in the bottle was a key guide to its age. Colour was light brick red a testament to its age. Taste however was a mystery with a more fortified feel to it and very alchoholic with legs on the glass like a mild port! Who knows the story of this wine! This was recorked for sure maybe 30 yrs ago by the chateau and was high sholder. Drank at the chateau and it is from the private cellar so immaculately kept. A great experience. Thank you Gildine and Guillaume
