A fresh, delicate and fruity nose. Subtle aromas of spices and black fruits mingling with some notes of roasted coffee beans. 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.

Inky, glass-staining purple. Chocolatey torrefaction and herbs currently dominate black fruit aromas on the nose. Much more fruit-dominated in the mouth: pure, rich, almost decadently ripe blackberry and cassis flavors are plush and creamy, but possess excellent grip and precision. Very polished tannins give the luscious finish an ultrasmooth texture. Maybe a bit more New than Old World, but this version of Lascombes is much more reminiscent of classic Bordeaux than other recent vintages and appears to be the best vintage here in years.
