The 2021 Lanessan has a clean nose, one that is missing some vigor and fruit concentration, but compensates with earthy, loamy aromas and tobacco. The palate is simple with a slightly bitter entry, quite saline yet it needs more substance—more flesh on th

This is showing aromas of currants, wild bramble berries, bell peppers and hints of anise. It’s fresh with a medium body, crunchy and medium-firm tannins and a juicy, fruit-forward finish. Drink after 2024.

There is a little more volume of fruit in Lanessan than in some of its neighbouring properties, which is encouraging. While the finish is hard and a little unresolved, there is more than enough purity up front to give it a good chance to even out successfully. 15.5

Nez offrant une grande pureté de fruit, de la maturité, d’élégantes notes minérales et florales, belle texture en bouche, de la saveur, de la finesse et une bonne allonge sur la fraîcheur. Séduisant et équilibré.

The aromas are refined and natural, and the mouthfeel smooth and refreshing. Compared to the previous three vintages, the relatively cool climate of 2021 works perfectly with Lanessan’s consistent style of gentleness and delicateness. With such refined tannins and a less powerful structure, a vivid image of a "fair lady" is presented. ??????,?????????????????,???2021??????????Lanessan????????????????????????,?????????,“?????”?????

Underbrush, tobacco leaf, peppery spice, red currants and crisp red plums form the core of the wine. Medium-bodied, bright, chewy and peppery, this is quite classic in style, with a nice sweetness to the bite in the red fruits found in the endnote. Drink from 2024-2040. 88-90

The 2021 Lanessan has an attractive nose with pretty, floral black fruit with hints of cedar. The palate is well balanced and cohesive, good substance with a grippy finish. Not a complex Lanessan, but it has presence and old school charm.

Sehr schöne Nase, komplex, steinig, dunkle Frucht, Cassis, Kirschen, Kräuter. Knackiger Gaumen, frisch, lebhaft, gut strukturiert, mit feinkörnigen Tanninen, viel Lebendigkeit und toller Säure. Mittellanger Abgang. Das macht Spass. 2025-2036 (Verkostet im April 2022. Grand Cercle des Vins de Bordeaux)

Nez de rose, de rose poudrée, de fruits frais avec une pointe boisée et variétale à l'aération. Juteux, frais, enrobant et une acidité élégante en finale.

A successful effort, the 2021 Lanessan exhibits aromas of cassis, pencil shavings and loamy soil, followed by a medium to full-bodied, lively and supple palate that's fleshy and enveloping, framed by powdery tannins and bright acids. I suspect this estate could aim even higher, but they have produced an attractive 2021. Tasted three times.
