Sunday, February 21, 2010 - Definitive Bordeaux (Mirabelle Restaurant Austin, Texas): This wine was a bit controversial: some tasters thought it too barnyard, bitter, coffee grounds, and dirty dishwater; others thought it chocolate, mineral, elegant, good fruit, and plummy. That's a broad spectrum to dissect. The Lascombes was the most forward in this flight of 2000's, and its tannins were more bitter than the Pichon Lalande an fell short on the finish. For the Burgundians it was a favorite, with berry on the nose, pencil shavings, elegance, silkiness, and medium length--yes, margaux might be the favorite bdx appellation of pinot-philes. For the bordeaux-philes, the lascombes fell short in this flight of supers.
