Chateau Lascombes, Margaux 2005 This wine is super toasty in the nose with hints of dark chocolate and cassis. The mouth is quite structured urging a good 10 years and more in the cellar, yet already the black fruit is popping out. Fire up the grill for a big steak if you have to dring this tonight. 84 hectares are planted to 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot on soils of gravel, clay-limestone and clay-gravel. The final blend for the ’05 is 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot and the wine was aged exclusively in new French oak. Consulting winemaker since 2001 is Michel Rolland. Mis en bouteilles au chateau a Margaux 13.5% $87.99 at Bottle Barn Chateau Lascombes
