2005 Chateau Lanessan

"This classic Haut-Médoc producer is based in Cussac-Fort-Médoc not far from Château Beychevelle in St-Julien. The Cabernet-dominant blend is consistently among the best values in the Médoc. According to the website Bordoverview.com, the 2005 vintage sold en primeur for just €13. Still today, it shows a lovely, plummy fruit with a solid, earthy underpinning and a forward, soft and lush texture. Surprisingly good at this price level." - Decanter
