Verkostungsnotizen
Vinous 92
The 2020 Lascombes has a discrete, finely delineated bouquet that unfolds in the glass with blackberry, bilberry, crushed violet and a touch of iodine. The palate is medium-bodied with sour cherry and brown spices on the entry. It's drier than expected with espresso notes on the finish. Although the nose has more pedigree than the palate, this does need time and is superior to many vintages from the previous decade. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
Anticipated maturity: 2027-2040
