Château Lascombes 2021

The 2021 Lascombes is a dense, plush Margaux, but also not quite as pushed as in the past. That’s a good thing. A burst of ink blue/purplish fruit, chocolate, leather, licorice and mocha are front and center. As always, Lascombes is a pretty flamboyant wine, but it is also very nicely done. There is plenty to admire. Tasted two times. Drinking window: 2027-2041. Score – 92-94. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com)
