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 fresh, delicate and fruity nose. Subtle aromas of spices and black fruits mingling with some notes of roasted coffee beans.
palate
The entry on the palate is clean and at the same time soft and velvety. The mid-palate is dense, powerful and elegant with well-ripened black fruits. The oak, though present, comes through with finesse and is subtly integrated in the wine. The tannins are silky. The finish is long. Wonderful complexity.
