Château Lascombes
Margaux Merlot Blend
Margaux, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Boysenberry, cherry, mulberry and violet, tobacco, cedar and wet cinnamon, leather, smoke, and bramble. Rich palate shows black cherry, black currant, tobacco, dark toast, espresso, darkest chocolate, cassis, and graphite. Absolutely perfect now and likely later too!

2hr decant. Dark purple color. Nose has menthol, oak, and dark cherries. The merlot really shows through on the palate and in the texture. Drinking young. Really enjoyed it!

Tasted in March 2022. Decanted for an hour (a must in my opinion!). A complex and classic margaux with a very long finish. Delectable and a value buy for a relatively obscure second growth!

Decanted briefly as the first sip was already pleasant. It tastes young but very smooth and balanced. Dark fruit, fruity definitely, mildly earthy. Dark chocolate? must come back to this in a few years.

Cassis and spice. Tight but balanced tannins. Very good.
