“This wine is one of the real success stories of the 2011 vintage in Margaux” Antonio Galloni

Vintages
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 is at first discreet, even closed. The wine needs air to reveal all its complexity. The stunning aromatic finesse of this vintage then shows through. Black fruits mingle with liquorice, spices and then floral notes. The oak beautifully enhances this delicate bouquet.

palate

The entry on the palate is clean and soft at the same time. Immediately, the volume, flesh and velvety texture are pure delight, not forgetting concentration! Intense flavours of black fruits. The tannins are dense and promise long ageing. The oak, already integrated, enhances the very fruity character of this vintage. The balance between alcohol, acidity and structure is ideal. The excellent length of flavour augurs well for excellent ageing potential.
