Lascombes Margaux 2024

Blackcurrant, dark cherries, lovely bramble fruit – crystalline purity on the nose. Clean and silky, sleek and svelte, definitely light footed but with clarity and bright, zingy acidity giving a touch of austerity and salty, minerality on the finish. Complex and layered with structure and lots of elegance and nuance. Axel Heinz director. A yield of 38hl/ha. 5% Petit Verdot completes the blend. 3.64pH. Ageing 60% new oak. 5% press. Drinking Window: 2030 – 2048 (Georgina Hindle,decanter.com)
