A dense wine, with strong elements of its wood aging still prominent, and smoothing out the tannins. It has power, a dark texture and superripe almost jammy fruits. The final has mint, spice and sweet plum juice.

Aging this wine in 100% new wood has left it very dry, the fruit tight and black but oddly drained of richness. There is sweetness along with prune flavors. But the tannins may never soften enough.

I found Chateau Landat to be dusty, earthy, and full of ripe plum with a bit of tobacco. Chateau Landat is located in the Cissac part of Haut-Medoc, which is nestled between Paulliac and St. Estephe, so the wine itself is probably drawing from St. Estephe’s rustic feel and Paulliac’s bold fruit. While I liked Chateau Landat, I feel there’s something missing, and I think it’s structure. It’s a little monolithic and it took a good hour and some change to smooth out the tannins. There just wasn’t anything that reached out and grabbed me. This would probably pair well with a sirloin, or some nicely aged blue cheese. If you’re like me, try this wine because it’s fruity and affordable ($20). In the end, Sharon and I agreed that for $20, there are sooooooo many good California Cabs that smoke this Bordeaux.
