Château Lascombes 2020 – Margaux, Grand Cru Classé 

On the nose, an expression of fruit, elegance, offering power, delicacy, complexity and a fine grain and finely tight. It reveals the notes of blackberry, violet, ripe wild currant and more lightly saffron combined with hints of cassis, a small touch of bright cherry, hints of sweet spice and a subtle hint of pepper and an imperceptible hint of clove (in the background). The palate is fruity, balanced and offers freshness, minerality, good definition, a certain gourmandize, suavity, roundness, a excellence power, straightness, an airy character in the balance (given the power, the richness) as well as a good tannic structure. The attack offers a certain firmness. The wine express the notes of pulpy/juicy raspberry, bright cherry and more slightly juicy cassis associated with touches of violet, bright berries, racy minerality as well as hints of fresh blond tobacco, toast, vanilla and a subtle hint of pepper (in the background). The tannins are precise, relatively massive and mellow. A fine chew on the finish. Good length and persistence.
