1982 vintage. A lucky Ebay buy (18 euros!). Solid colour, intense nose dominated by tobacco and leather. Better in the mouth with amazing freshness, balance and very good length.

1998 vintage. Considered a right bank vintage (like 1964), this Cabernet Sauvignon dominated (75%) wine comes as a great surprise. Robert Parker wrote in 2000 that "the tannin might never fully dissipate", but then it did. Classic Bordeaux with more charm in the mouth than in the rustic nose. Still tastes amazingly young with still good fruit and freshness and ... dissipated tannin. Not very long but a delight to drink and terrific value at around 21 euro.

Vintage 2012 / year that is easy accesible, mild smell with impressions of cherries and plums, soft vannilla, a bit sharp taste from bottle but velvety after a few hours in decanter. I like Lanessan because it is reliable. #hautmedoc Partnered with a steak, green asparagus with baked almond shavings.

This is a steal at €11, but it needs time. The lack of vintage ripeness definitely shows as a peppery edge, but it’s firm and well built nonetheless. Good energy and decent concentration. Cherry/red currant fruit, soil, cedar, tobacco. Classic bdx.

Classic aged Bordeaux, deep red fruit mix with leather, pipe smoke, graphite, game, turned earth and gravel. Masculine tannins giving posture, oak has integrated very well.
