Chateau Lascombes 2005 displays a deep dark ruby garnet hue with an almost opaque core and violet rim that brightens at the edges. The nose reveals juicy berry fruit complemented by pleasant toast notes and hints of raisins.
On the palate, this full-bodied wine is opulent and substantial, with well-integrated tannins that provide excellent structure and length. A mineral finish leads to a delicate coffee note in the aftertaste. The wine demonstrates very good development potential, making it an excellent choice for cellaring or enjoying now for those who appreciate complex, age-worthy Bordeaux.
