Château Lanessan 2019 – Haut-Médoc

The nose offers fruit, a little depth and a controlled power. There are notes of fresh roasted berries, pulpy blackberry and, more slightly, fleshy/ripe cherry combined with subtle touches of violet, vanilla and a discreet hint of iodine, lily and an imperceptible hint of sweet blond tobacco (in the background). The palate is fruity and offers freshness, minerality, good definition, fine tension, acidity, suavity, fine sapidity and a fine straightness. On the palate this wine expresses juicy/pulpy blackberry, ripe/acidic red berry and slightly cherry notes combined with hints of violet, racy minerality and fine toasted and almond notes. The tannins are racy. Some salinity on the finish.
