Château Lascombes 2020

94-95/100

Blackberries and spices, such as cloves and nutmeg, as well as licorice and hints of graphite. It’s full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins, yet they are polished and beautiful. Structured. Solid.

90-91/100

L’échantillon se montre moins en place. Le vin serré, plus extrait que ses voisins, est aussi plus marqué par le bois.

92-94/100

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Lascombes comes skipping out of the glass with bright, cheery scents of raspberry coulis, blackberry preserves and fresh blackcurrants, plus suggestions of pencil shavings, dried roses and charcuterie with a waft of bouquet garni. The medium to full-bodied palate has great tension and energy, delivering crunchy red and black fruit layers and a firm, grainy frame, finishing long with an herbal lift.

16.5/100

Couleur sombre, intense et pourpre. Nez très aromatique, au fruité mûr et crémeux. Moelleux à l’attaque, juteux en milieu de bouche, avec du goût et un corps fondant, le vin évolue sur une finale à la tannicité présente, à la saveur mûre, au grain de tannin fin. Bonne longueur.

92-94/100

A terrific success in the vintage, the 2020 Château Lascombes sports a dense purple color as well as gorgeous black and blue fruits interwoven with plenty of toasty oak. Playing in the medium to full-bodied end of the spectrum, it has velvety tannins, good mid-palate density, and beautiful overall balance. It’s one of those wines that brings plenty of ripe fruit yet always has a solid sense of elegance and purity. Tasted twice.

92-94/100

The 2020 Lascombes is gorgeous. Inky and deep, the 2020 is brimming with character. There is a bit less opulence than in some recent vintages, but that is not a bad thing. And plenty of inky dark fruit, leather and spice flavor. The 2020 is an attractive, mid-weight Lascombes with a good deal of richness and fine balance. Lavender, cloves, spice and new French oak linger on the suave finish.

95-96/100

Le bouquet de Lascombes se révèle avec délicatesse. Il est subtil, invitant et brille de par son côté généreux mais également frais et floral. En bouche le vin a du caractère, du pep. Il est doté de tannins serrés qui assurent parfaitement les arrières alors que la structure acide confère du tempérament, de l’énergie. Un Lascombes élégant, ample, sapide et persistant.
