WINEMAKER'S NOTE
Château Lascombes 2001 displays wonderful deep, intense

mingling of fruit, spice and oak. The finish is long and
enticing with a hint of chocolate.
This vintage is seductive and elegant, well-worthy of its appellation,
and magnificent for laying down.

A dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by ripe aromas of spring flowers, blueberries, blackberries, and cassis. Medium-bodied, stylish, and elegant, with sweet tannin, impressive concentration, tremendous persistence as well as flavor intensity, and a 40+ second finish, this noble claret should be at its finest between 2005-2016.April 2008Wine Advocate # 15392<br/><br/>Hy: when first opened, ripe aromas of berries, when poured out, very strong aromas of white chocalate. When first drink, very pleasant, easy drinking but not as powerful as paulliac. After 1hr decanted, the taste is different. More settled, white choc gone, more tanin
