Community Tasting Note

Friday, December 29, 2023 - Bordecembre.. no. 33 Wow, even I am surprised how many different bottles of Bordeaux came out to play this month!

I love to see the evolution of this Lascombes, about 1-1.5 years ago it was so tightly wound.. but today, after a full decant for 2 hours, it's so much more expressive!

Thinking back to my previous experience, it could have come across as heavily oaked and disjointed, but with more years... things really improve.

55% Merlot with 45% Cab and a drop of PV, such a high proportion of Merlot for a LB!

High 90% new French oak used. Cherries, plums and juicy red fruits with that underlying bright acidity M+. Still quite tannic, but slowly softening. Wait 5 years perhaps?

Thanks KK bro for sharing this, at Joy's If Only KL birthday celebration. Nice restaurant!
