Château Lascombes 2005

Robe noire, belle profondeur et reflets pourpres. Lascombes 2005 exprime un nez subtil d'épices, de fruits noirs, de réglisse, de grillé et de torréfaction. Attaque souple, bouche explosive. Le bois arrive en second laissant la part belle aux fruits. 2005 est construit autour d'un équilibre parfait de fraîcheur, de puissance, de rondeur, de suavité, et les tannins très nobles complètent idéalement ce tableau dans ce cru classé de margaux.

Wine Advocate-Parker :
Spicy oak, earth and cedar wood jump from the glass of this fruity, medium-bodied wine. It is not showing quite the density I would have expected, but it is still well-endowed and more evolved than some of the top efforts from the Margaux appellation. It has a dark, ruby/plum color, a slightly narrow finish, and less intensity than I remember. For whatever reason, this didn't jump out of the horizontal tasting of the appellation of Margaux in 2005. Moreover, I loved this wine from barrel and post-bottling.
