James Suckling beschreibt ihn im Januar 2023 wie folgt:
This has aromas of blackcurrants, graphite, tomato leaves and iodine. Mediumbodied, with chewy, slightly rustic tannins. Clean, mineral and a little austere. Try in 2025.
Den Chateau Lanessan 2020 Haut Medoc beschreibt William Kelley wie folgt:
Sporting a deep purple-black color, the 2020 Lanessan has a lively nose of crushed redcurrants, black raspberries and blackcurrant preserves, plus hints of dried Provence herbs and pencil shavings. The medium-bodied palate has plenty of energetic red and black berry flavors, supported by grainy tannins, finishing deliciously refreshing.
Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Lanessan:
The 2020 Lanessan presents a very perfumed nose of dark cherries, cassis, cedar and background tobacco aromas, turning quite minty with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, a crisp line of acidity, plenty of tightly wound black fruit and a saline finish. This is a classy Lanessan, quite complex and intense yet refined.
