The 2014 Deuxieme Cru Classé Chateau Lacombes is delicately woody - but it remains aromatically rich - and expresses a large sensory palette dominated by black fruits, followed by balsamic notes. The swirl reinforces the fragrances concentrated character. The palate impresses by its composition around perfectly extracted tannins, although they remain strong due to their tight aspect. Those tannins become round on finish. This Margaux has substance and it can resist through time thanks to its structure. This 2014 Chateau Lascombes is a solid wine.

The 2014 Lascombes was perplexing when I tasted it multiple times from barrel. Now in bottle, it has a generous, warm bouquet with chestnut-tinged black fruit, hints of cedar filtering through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, smooth in texture with ample blackberry and blueberry fruit, although my main criticism is lack of detail and delineation on the finish. Ergo, you don't feel enthused about returning for another sip.
