Château Lascombes Margaux 1855 2ième Cru 2021

Sandalwood and campfire smoke, bright acidity, blueberry and raspberry fruit, this has some appellation typicity in its soft rose aromatics, dips through the mid palate but a clear step up from the Chevalier, as you would doubly expect in the vintage. 41hl/h yield, 60% new oak. Last full year with Dominique Befve as director before the new team came in. Tasted three times, one point upscore.
