2004 LASCOMBES / 力士金
Something about Chateau Lascombes
The central figure in the history of Chateau Lascombes is the Knight Antoine de Lascombes, who gave the estate his name and is its earliest known owner. The vineyards of Chateau Lascombes were planted by Antoine and over the centuries were expanded from an initial 27 hectares to its current size of 118 hectares. Its vineyards are planted with the classic Bordeaux varietals of Cabernet, Merlot and Petit Verdot, which thrive in the poor gravel soil of Margaux. Chateau Lascombes employs the services of Michel Rolland as a consulting oenologist.

FROM THE
EXPERTS
Plenty of blackberry and lightly toasted oak character and hints of tea on the nose and palate. Medium- to full-bodied, with silky tannins and a medium finish. Balanced
Opulent nose. Quite exotic aromas. Extremely fine tannins and lovely lift. This wine is a flatterer. Exciting. Built to last. It will last but on the front palate there is immense ripeness. Falls away just very slightly on the finish however and the dry tannins are just a bit too bitter. 12 apr: According to a fiche technique received in the mail today, they picked the Cabernet Sauvignon which constitutes 53% of the blend, right up to 25 oct, which may help to explain the quality of this wine.
Another brilliant effort from this estate, the 2004 Lascombes (a blend of 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Petit Verdot) exhibits a deep blue/purple hue along with a sweet perfume of blueberries, black raspberries, cherries, incense, smoke, and spring flowers. While opulent, underneath the full-bodied richness of fruit and depth is a structured wine. As it sits in the glass, an espresso roast character (no doubt from new oak) also emerges. Enjoy this pure, structured, fleshy beauty between 2010-2025.
