Château Lascombes Margaux

Margaux, Bordeaux, France

Varietal(s): 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot

Aromas of crushed blackcurrants and cherries with dried Provence herbs, lavender, raw walnuts and spiced cedar. Graphite, too. Full and muscular with a broad-shouldered, velvety tannin structure that goes on for minutes. Textured and chalky with a lingering finish. Very polished.

95pts. James Suckling
