Chateau Lascombes Margaux 2005
Vendor code : 349
Château Lascombes is an esteemed and highly acclaimed wine estate located in the Margaux appellation. The estate is renowned for producing a Bordeaux Blend wine that embodies the classic characteristics of the region. This wine is celebrated for its deep color, luscious texture, ripe fruit flavors, and elegant tannic structure. In the historic 1855 Bordeaux Classification, Château Lascombes was designated as a second growth, reflecting its exceptional quality. It is noteworthy that, in a departure from the typical Margaux style, Merlot comprises around 50 percent of the vineyard plantings, while Cabernet Sauvignon takes on a supporting role alongside a small amount of Petit Verdot. Nevertheless, the grand vin of Château Lascombes typically showcases approximately 55 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, adding to its distinctive character.

The 2005 vintage of Lascombes exemplifies the estate's impressive transformation in quality that has been ongoing for the past five years. This wine, a blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and a touch of Petit Verdot, is a truly stunning representation. With its deep purple color, it captivates the senses with a delightful bouquet of spring flowers, blueberries, blackberries, creosote, and graphite. The wine's full-bodied nature is complemented by silky yet noticeable tannins, creating a layered and velvety mouthfeel. The finish is simply remarkable, lingering for over 45 seconds. This is a brilliant example of a modern-styled Margaux, displaying a level of opulence and finesse. Drink: 2015 - 2028.
