2010 Lascombes

Dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, subtle edge brightening, dark berry fruit underlaid with fine cookie, delicately smoky herbal spice, tobacco nuances, a hint of cherries. Juicy, good complexity, black berry fruit, firm, well-integrated tannins, dark nougat on the finish, shows some length, mineral aftertaste, delicate bitter chocolate on the finish, good ageing potential.
