2015 Lanessan

[KWP]

Oddly it is a bit too polished. Smooth, with ripe tannin and black fruits. Historically there was always a bit of coarseness that needed time to age, much like Sociando Mallet or La Lagune or Meyney. I fear the 2015 is a bit too man-made for me and on day 3 it didn't show the structure to hold up like Lanessan's of past.

Solid, but odd as property heads into a new era with a new team.

I find it hard to get a read on these young vintages. I put away a couple of these, but will given them some time.
