Château Lacombe Noaillac 2018 – Médoc

The nose offers a small concentration, a certain power as well as a very fine complexity. It reveals notes of wild blackberry, bright cassis and small notes of violet associated with small touches of liquorice, nutmeg, lily, hazelnut, toasted and an imperceptible varietal hint. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, slightly tight and offers juiciness, a fine minerality, freshness as well as a small concentration. On the palate this wine expresses notes of crunchy/juicy cassis, small bright red berries associated with touches of violet, lilac as well as hints of small berries, camphor, toasted, a racy minerality, tobacco and a very discreet hint of crushed almond. Tannins are well-built. Good length.
