2004 not the greatest Bordeaux vintage on record. Lascombes faired a bit better than norm. Paired with AB Lamb Lollipops.

The palate is round and lush. Ruby fruits of; blackberries, black raspberries, both plums, dark cherries, strawberries, hints of purple & blue fruits. Round, semi-sweet lead pencil, charcoal, mixed mid berry cola, moist clay, sandstone, sandalwood, dark rich soil, dry riverstone, dark withering florals, excellent, round acidity and a well balanced, structured, nice tensioned, polished finish that lasts 90 seconds. Has another 10-15 years of good sipping properly stored. — 6 months ago

Wow. These 2015's are showing very well. Clean, ripe, razor like and well defined. Crisp, focused peach pit, tangerine, riverstone. Absolutely perfect for light fare.

Lovely zippy minerality, apricots, lychee, kiwi skin, Young and easily drinkable right now. Lapping riverstone for a long time after the gulp. Paired with VA "Cannon Cove" oysters. — 8 years ago

My night before a 10k across a bridge wine.
Decanted for a few hours.
Nose of working farmyard, decomposing, wet hay, and animal ruckus.
Medium bodied with well balance dark fruit, mint, Greek oregano, hints of anise, riverstone. Ending with a long lingering finish that puts the oak and acid at one with each other. Nicely balanced, young , but hey, aren’t we all at heart? — 5 years ago

Tangerine and star fruit dreams! Lime zest and riverstone. Focused and clean. This begs for the lives of oysters. Come! To your sacrifice! — 8 years ago
