About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Red BlendBordeaux, FranceChâteau Lanessan continues to be a true bargain in the Bordeaux world. Lanessan produces wines that at first seem firm, but flesh out with marvellous fruit with good richness. Lanessan is also a very consistant producer, creating wines of quality from questionable vintages. The great thing is that you don't have to worry too much about 'questionable' vintage when looking at this superb 2009. The Bordeaux Gods have definitely been smiling on communes and produced wines of utmost concentration and power. Lanessan did not miss out with the licquorice, spice and blackcurrant rich wine that will reward the Bordeaux bargain hunter for the next decade or more.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

What many Australian Cabernet and Merlot based wines lack, and what I crave, is that elusive and vague thing we like to call ‘minerality’, which is just one of the reasons I love Bordeaux so much. Here’s a wine with plenty of it, along with licorice, blackberry and cedar wood. It’s rich and full fruited, with positive oak, low but balanced acidity and plenty of ripe tannin to chew on. Good finish. Ooomph and, already, a pleasing sense of drinkability. Now and over the next decade it’s going to give a lot of pleasure.
