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
The nose at first is closed, just a hint of roasted coffee beans, but reveals all its complexity on swirling. Black fruit aromas, such as blackberries and black cherries then come to the fore leaving the discreet oak in the background.
palate
A clean entry on the palate. Concentration, elegance, finesse and roundness are the characteristics of this feminine rather than powerful vintage. The wine’s tannins are nevertheless very present and stylish, while the tannins of the oak, needing to refine a little more, are delicate. Ripe fruit flavours come through in a lovely long finish.
