Chateau Lascombes 2014 (1x75cl)

Chateau Lascombes is in Margaux, on Bordeaux's left bank, and this 2014 has roughly ten years in bottle. That matters more than it sounds: a left bank blend at this age has usually lost its early edges and is easier to enjoy on the night you open it.

Bring it to a dinner, pair it with beef, lamb or duck, or give it to someone who appreciates that the work of ageing has already been done. An hour in a decanter helps. Free delivery in Hong Kong over HK$800, flat HK$80 below that, 2-5 business days.

Tasting notes

Aged Margaux blends typically move from fresh blackcurrant towards dried dark fruit, with cedar, tobacco and earthy notes coming forward and tannins settling down. As with any older bottle, individual bottles can vary.
