Château Lascombes Margaux Merlot Blend 2010
The wine hits all cylinders in 2010. The average alcohol for the bottled wine is 14%. It has a gorgeously sweet nose of creme de cassis, spring flowers, subtle barbecue smoke and charcoal followed by full body, beautiful intensity, great purity, stature and length. The influence of any oak is minimal, despite the fact that 90% new French oak was used...This is one of the great Margaux wines of the vintage...Probably the greatest Lascombes made to date, the 2010 is a blend of 55% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Petit Verdot...

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! #chateaulascombes #lascombes #margaux #appellationmargauxcontrolée #bordeauxrouge #leftbank #deuxiemecru

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.
