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
At first, the nose is open, fresh and fruity. On swirling, a bouquet of black fruits develops together with a fusion of chocolate and fruit steeped in brandy, the whole being embellished by touches of mocha and vanilla.
palate
The entry is gentle, and the mid-palate is also very suave and fresh with a round mouth-feel. Lots of flesh and a velvety texture. The tannins are coated, while crisp, ripe black fruits come to the fore. The finish is long. A complex and elegant wine that needs time in bottle.
