lascombes

A quick look at the second growth bordeaux I tasted tonight...

Chateau Lascombes Margaux 2005 Grand Cru Classè

52% cab 45% merlot, with some petit verdot
$120-$160
Nose showing wonderful floral notes at the moment...
heaps of blueberry and summer flowers, oak.. very full body and tanins that are not shy....

long in the mouth.. a few elements are closed still, but sure to be expressed in some years to come.
usually not into the modernness thing, but this wine pulls it off beautifully...
