| | 2004 Lascombes 375ml - Future RP:93-94 RP93-94: "The 2004 Lascombes appears to be superior to the
2003. An extraordinary blue/purple color is accompanied by knock-out
aromatics of spring flowers, crushed rocks, charcoal, blueberries,
blackberries, and cherries. Medium to full-bodied, rich, and textured,
with impeccable precision as well as definition, this beauty may be the
finest Lascombes yet produced. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2020+" ~ Jun, '06
RP92-95: "This property has exploded in quality since it was
acquired by the American company, Colony Capital. Chateau Reignac’s
Yves Vatelot was brought in to oversee the winemaking, and everything
was revolutionized with the assistance of Dr. Alain Raynaud and Michel
Rolland. This has now become one of Margaux’s top wines, even
challenging Palmer and Chateau Margaux. The brilliant 2004 (50% Merlot,
40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Petit Verdot) is unquestionably one of
the wines of the vintage. An inky/purple color is followed by a
gorgeously expressive, explosive nose of creme de cassis, smoked meats,
flowers, and graphite. Opulent, medium to full-bodied, and beautifully
concentrated, with tremendous precision as well as uplift, this superb
effort is atypically rich and textured for a 2004. Anticipated
maturity: 2008-2020. Bravo!"
