Medium-bodied, with good intensity and firm, grainy tannins, it finishes long and fragrant. Elegance Complexity Purity "Really beautiful". James Suckling Boasting a deep purple color as well as a pulsating bouquet of cassis, smoky earth, pencil lead and tobacco, this Chateau Lascombes 2016 hits the palate with moderate to full-bodied richness, obvious minerality, great presence on the palate and a tremendous sense of elegance and purity. It is a beautiful wine that can be enjoyed today but will keep for 25 to 30 years!
