“This marvellously balanced wine, which makes its entrance with a dense ruby/purple reminiscent of plum, sets itself apart with fabulous aromas of smoky blackcurrant, mineral, flowers and blackberries.” Robert Parker
Combining power and elegance, smoothness and tannins, Château Lascombes is a wine of great complexity. In its youth, its depth of colour never fails to impress. Finesse and softness on the palate are complemented by stylish, fine-grained tannins. Château Lascombes should be enjoyed as it ages over the years to enable full appreciation of its aromatic complexity and the development of its ever-more suave structure in bottle.
Nose
A delicate, complex nose in which black fruits come to the fore. The latter are ripe and enhanced by discreet and harmonious oak.
palate
An explosive entry on the palate. Power, roundness, flesh... the whole expressed with elegance and distinction. A backdrop of fruit, spice and oak mingling successfully. The finish is long with a touch of chocolate.
