Blend of 68% Merlot and 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, deep Ruby color with aromas of red and black fruits with toasty spice. On the palate flavors of black raspberry, currants and black cherry with licorice, toasty oak and tobacco. Fine chewy tannins, long finish ending with fruit, oak and earthy tobacco spice.

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Dark purple in color with a short reddish rim.
Fruity nose of black currants, blackberries, sweet cherries, light cedar, earth, herbs, light vegetables and chocolates.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black plums, cooked cherries, spices, chocolates, coffee, peppercorn, licorice, pencil lead and earth.
Medium finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a tasty Merlot based blend from Margaux. Elegant, complex and nicely balanced.
This second wine from Château Lascombes is rich and fruit forward. Feels like a Right Bank Bordeaux with a touch of New World.
I had the 2018 not too long ago and this one is drinking much better now. Would be nice to revisit it in a couple of years.
Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.
A blend of 68% Merlot and 32% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 16 months in used French oak barrels.
14% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$40.

Soft at first sip. Body builds on pallet as time lingers. Very good Bordeaux for the money. $50 on this restaurant list makes it seem like a steal. Could be the restaurant wants to move wine. While list is very affordable.

2 people found it helpfulDec 25th, 2015Medium brick red. Some signs of aging. Red raspberry and cherry, plum, pencil shavings, clove, white pepper on the nose. In mouth, light and easy drinking. Round soft tannins, coat the mouth, big acidity. Light body, a little thin. Wet earth, prune, vanilla, and quite spicy. Low fruit flavor. pair with tartare salmon

Full bodied with red fruit, cherry, raspberry, oak, and slight earthy notes. Very silky and smooth. 2012 is still a bit young, but the second vintage of Château Lascombes is a must try!
