Merchant's description

Château Lascombes 1988 is a mature-vintage, Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux. Château Lascombes is an illustrious Second Growth estate in Margaux. With a rich history that dates back to the 17th century, the estate is known for producing high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines from Margaux`s well-drained gravelly clay soils. On the 1988 vintage. "The light-styled 1998 Lascombes offers sweet cherry fruit intermixed with cedar, spice box, and dried herbs. Although it lacks depth, this offering is symmetrical, well-balanced, and elegant." Robert Parker, 2001
