The 2020 Lanessan has a light, reticent nose with notes of forest floor, earthenware and a bit of dustiness at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied and slightly chewy in texture with sapid red fruit and moderate depth. It becomes spicier toward the finish but doesn't quite escape the feeling of rusticity compared to its peers. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.

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.
