Chateau Lanessan Haut-Medoc 2005

From a producer long known for consistency across vintages, this 2005 Haut-Médoc draws on Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc from the gravelly plateau of the Médoc. Entering its mature phase, the wine has had two decades to integrate its structure and reveal the savory complexity that defines age-worthy Bordeaux. Left-Bank architecture meets the 2005 vintage's ripe fruit expression and natural tannin maturity—transparency and poise today while retaining the framework for further cellaring.
