Here is another personal favorite known to deliver real value in outstanding vintages:
2015 Chateau Lanessan, Haut-Medoc
Savvy shoppers will snap it up in the $15-22 price range.
This 2015 does not disappoint, delivering refined black fruit
in a supple package. The 2010, as a reference point, is wonderful right now.

Tip of the Day
Who can you trust for Bordeaux ratings and scores?
Decanter Magazine, especially the magazine. Not so much the medals awarded at the annual judging. A positive review from Decanter is well-earned.
The Wine Enthusiast, if the wine is rated by RV, Roger Voss.
James Suckling–more reliable than Parker’s Wine Advocate which has lost its focus.
Writer Jane Anson for on the scene, accurate information and assessments.
