Chateau Lascombes, 2eme Cru Classe, Margaux 2018 (0.375L)

"The 2018 Lascombes sports an attractive nose of well-defined black fruit mingling with freshly rolled tobacco and earthy aromas. As I wrote last year, this is more refined and controlled than other vintages of Lascombes. The palate is cohesive and focused, and gentle in terms of grip, with fine salinity toward the finish. There is a Pauillac-like personality here and thankfully it no longer shows any of that baked character on the finish. This is decent Lascombes."- Neal Martin
