This has aromas of blackcurrants, graphite, tomato leaves and iodine. Medium-bodied, with chewy, slightly rustic tannins. Clean, mineral and a little austere. Try in 2025. Rating: 91 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (May 2023)

The 2020 Lanessan is just as compelling from bottle as it was from barrel. Dark, virile and imposing, Lanessan offers up a mix of black cherry, plum, gravel, incense, tobacco, scorched earth and licorice. Firm tannins wrap it all together in style. This is a terrific showing. Drinking range: 2026 - 2040 Rating: 92 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Feb 2023)
The 2020 Lanessan has a very attractive nose, more floral than its fellow Haut-Médocs, focused and tensile with blackberry, pencil lead and light mint aromas. The palate is medium-bodied fresh and vibrant. Graphite and a dab of black pepper towards the persistent finish. This is a fine 2020 from the recently-sold estate. Drinking range: 2026 - 2045 Rating: 91 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Feb 2023)
This is a wine that has a distinct feeling of under-ripeness and while it wants to impress, there is a coarse edge to the fruit and also the tannins and the acidity is too raw for my palate. Rating: 15.5+? Matthew Jukes www.matthewjukes.com (Jun 2021)
