Château Landat 2009 Red (Haut-Médoc)

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $20

There is a fine mineral texture to this structured, firm wine from the northern Haut-Médoc. It also has ripe fruit and a richly tannic character, with flavors of black plum juice and berry. Dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, this will age over several years. — R.V. (2/1/2013)

Château Landat 2005 Red (Haut-Médoc)

Editors' Choice

Price $16

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. — R.V. (6/1/2010)

Château Landat 2008 Vieilles Vignes Red (Haut-Médoc)

Online Exclusive

Price $25

Made using fruit selected from old vines, this is a concentrated effort that straddles the old-style Bordeaux and the modern, fruit-driven type. The tannins are firm and dry, which dominate the black currant flavor, and the acidity is crisp and plentiful. It’s a wine that is aging slowly and will repay several more years of aging. — R.V. (2/1/2013)

Château Landat 2006 Red (Haut-Médoc)

Price $20

Richly juicy wine, with black plum and damson fruits surrounded by layers of firm, dry tannins. It is structured, intense, the fruit laced with satisfying acidity. — R.V. (11/1/2011)

Château Landat 2003 Vieilles Vignes Red (Haut-Médoc)

Price $22

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. — R.V. (6/1/2010)

points

Château Landat 2008 Red (Haut-Médoc)

Price $20

Structured and fruity, this has black currant flavors, dry tannins and a definite wood-aged feel. It is elegant, not powerful, opening slowly to reveal its fine fruit and acidity. — R.V. (11/1/2011)
