but based on barrel samples of the 1992 and 1991

vibrant raspberry and wild cherry flavors slowly become sweeter with air and pick up a sexy oak spice nuance

Lascombes - 2004 (750ml) 2003 richness and depthAnother brilliant effort from this estate, the 2004 Lascombes (a blend of 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Petit Verdot) exhibits a deep blue purple hue along with a sweet perfume of blueberries, black raspberries, cherries, incense, smoke, and spring flowers. While opulent, underneath the full bodied richness of fruit and depth is a structured wine. As it sits in the glass, an espresso roast character (no doubt from new oak) also emerges.
