(16/20) Насыщенный букет с доминированием третичных ароматов (кожа, хьюмидор); специи (мускатный орех, корица); сухие черные ягоды. Высокая кислотность, интенсивные сухие, вяжущие танины. Тельное. Во вкусе существенно более ягодное, чем в аромате - больше ежевики и чёрной смородины. Долгое послевкусие.

Just a little past its peak but still drinkable. Still getting fruit on the nose and some tannins on finish.

Decanted for about 2 hours and it was just 'not there'. Expectations were not met. Seemed very thin for a Bordeaux.

Saved this for 8 years! Not a disappointment; I'm just surprised that this 14 year old wine has such heavy tannins. Vanilla, currants, berries. Wonderful. Worth the wait.

Was interesting comparing this with the 2004 Meyney as part of Friday steak night. At first this showed loads of bitterness and dominant, unpleasant metallic notes. Over 3 hours the metallic notes faded and this revealed some red fruit and peppery notes, but the bitterness never quite got to a place I liked. I'm curious to see what Lanessan is like at 5 or 10 years--seemed faded at 15 years.

I don't like this one at all, not even worth to comment.
