Tasting Notes
94 points by Robert Parker, Wine Adcoate review date: 2019
The 2017 Château Lascombes is a blend of 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Petit Verdot. It offers a deep garnet-purple color and opens with expressive notes of crushed blackberries, black cherries, and cassis, followed by hints of violets, dark chocolate, and cedar. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a firm, grainy texture and lively acidity, leading to a long, savory finish. This is a structured and elegant wine with excellent aging potential.

A refined and polished Margaux with aromas of blackcurrants, blackberries, and violets, complemented by hints of graphite and spices. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and a silky texture, offering a balanced and harmonious profile. The finish is long and elegant, with a touch of minerality. A beautiful expression of the 2017 vintage.
