Chateau Lascombes Chevalier de Lascombes Margaux 2023 750ml

"Quite a fragrant nose, really floral and heavily scented with black berry fruit and some red cherry notes. Crisp and chalky, this has a lovely fresh bite and tang to the strawberry fruit, more red on the palate with a clear, crystalline base of powdery minerality. A touch tense in terms of focus but there’s nice softness too, expanding slowly with a long length. An encouraging second wine with some underlying power. Clean and precise. A little toasted on the finish, graphite, cedar, coffee and dark chocolate. 3.70pH. A yield of 35hl/h. First vintage under director Axel Heinz. Julien Viaud consultant." —Decanter

"Lightly baked red cherries and sweet strawberries at first, but the slightly baked character gets blown off in the glass as you give it some time, revealing aromas of fresher red berries, hibiscus and minerals. Fruity on the palate but tense at the core, with fresh, fine-grained tannins and a juicy, tight-wound finish. Better from 2026." —James Suckling
