Goedhuis, April 2014
13 years old, from the very fine 2000 vintage, this is at its optimum maturity with its cedar wood and blackcurrant fruit flavours. Perfect with lamb and beef dishes.

Robert Parker, June 2010, Score: 88
A delicious, complex effort, the fully mature 2000 Lanessan offers notes of cedarwood, plums, loamy soil, and damp earth, medium to full body, plenty of spice, and a classic Bordeaux personality. It should drink well for another 7-10 years.

Robert Parker, April 2003, Score: 89
I am not sure this wine does not deserve an outstanding score. It is one of the finest Lanessans I have tasted over the last 20 years. A generous Lanessan, with a deep ruby/purple color and a classic nose of cedar, spice box, black currant, plum, and earth, the wine has sweet tannin, medium to full body, loads of concentration, and a long, layered finish, with light to moderate tannin. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2015.

Clive Coates, June 2001
Good colour. Pleasant Cabernet nose, though it lacks real concentration. Recently racked? Medium body. Decent attack. It tails off a bit afterwards but the end is fresh. An attractive wine. Good. From 2004/2005.
Producer
Château Lanessan
One of the oldest estates in the Médoc dating from the 14th century, Lanessan was not classified in 1855 as they failed to submit a sample. Had they done so, some specialists believe that it would have been listed as a Fifth Growth. Not particularly great news for the château owners, but for its consumers on the other hand...
Region
Haut-Médoc
The Haut-Médoc is an appellation within the Médoc that stretches along the left bank of the Gironde from Blanquefort in the south to the north of Bordeaux. The region encompasses the more famous communes of St-Estèphe, Pauillac, St-Julien and Margaux. Following the 1855 classification many of its most famous estates were classified and scored as first, second, third, fourth or fifth growths. This was based on their social and commercial positions at the time. Most of these classed growths use the village appellation name, such as Pauillac. However five of these classed growths fell outside a village appellation so take the name Haut-Médoc. Many of the vineyards which are classified as Haut-Médoc may actually also be referred to as Cru Bourgeois wines. These wines have lower permitted yields and so offer great value for money.
