Château Lascombes Margaux 1855 2ième Cru 2018
An exuberant vintage all around, and this is in the zeitgeist of the year, if not the appellation. Trace of heat, and the extraction is pretty charged, which makes things abrupt on the finish but the tannins are chewy and supple, and there are enticing layers of violet, blackberry, cassis, cocoa bean, pomegranate, turmeric, ink, cloves and crayon. Harvest September 21 to October 16, 45hl/h yield, 60% new oak. Delphine Barboux technical director.
