This is really shockingly good. I pulled this out of the cellar to go with steak and I wan't expecting fireworks at all. This Lascombes really blew me away though. None of the massive oak I feared I might encounter. No overblown fruit, no elevated alcohol and hot finish. Instead, I found a rather classic Bordeaux that was round, loaded with black currant, leather, some cigar box and nice acidity. Really a lovely wine that would do equally well with fowl or pork as it did with the more flavorful beef.
