Château Lascombes
Margaux Merlot Blend
Margaux, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Inky in color with a short reddish rim.
Pretty nose with wild flowers, black fruits, light cedar, earth, Indian spices, dark coffee, tobacco leaf and herbs.
Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, cedar, cooked cherries, spices, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn and earth.
Long finish with grippy tannins and tangy cherries.
This delicious Cabernet Sauvignon blend from Margaux is still so young, but drinking beautifully already. Rich and soft. Complex and interesting.
Showing good structure with a spicy nose. Needed a long time to open up properly.
This 2nd Growth Margaux is Complex and nicely balanced. Ripe and delicious now, but in your face kind of wine.
I had the 2018 not too long ago, and it was drinking better. Needs a few years to relax in the bottle. Would be nice to revisit it in 7 years, and will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years.
A good sipping wine, that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
A blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and a touch of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Aged in (60% new) French Oak barrels for 18 months.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$90.

This producer ebbs and flows in the vintages. 2022 not a great year for them. Approachable now to a degree.
A Bordeaux to drink sooner while you wait on other more long in the tooth.
Surprisingly, the only Chateau in the event.

Opens with a brief splash of plum, then rich, inky dark fruit, touches of chocolate, fig, and coffee. Thick tannins with moderate acidity carry through the finish.

2022 vintage. Medium heavy body with a feminine-styled effort so plenty of smoke, cocoa powder and blueberry. Tannins not even hanging out on the corner and no visible storefront or corresponding street truck. Waay too young but still waay too delish at this point. 67% Cab, 30% Merlot, 3% (combined) CF and PV. 03.12.25.
