he 2009 Chateau Lascombe is 48% Merlot, 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Petit Verdot. This Margaux 2e Cru Classe from Bordeaux reveals a violet-tinted, deep, shiny purple hue. The nose is fresh, ethereal, and refined. Delicate black fruits and spices are combined with roasted coffee scents from ageing. The attack is forward yet smooth. The palate perfectly pairs fruit flavours with strength and density. Silky tannins lead to incredible length on the finish. The 2009 Chateau Lascombe is a great classic with outstanding ageing potential.

Wine Advocate-Parker :
The medium to deep garnet colored 2009 Lascombes reveals notes of stewed plums, baked blackberries and dried mulberries with touches of sweaty leather, raisin cake and hoisin. Full-bodied with a rugged, chewy frame, the mid-palate gives a good core of earth-laced fruit, finishing a little rustic.
