Lot 421 Details
CHÂTEAU DU TERTRE 2009 (3)

Margaux. 5ième Cru Classé
1 x scuffed label

CHÂTEAU LASCOMBES 2010 (6)

Margaux. 2ième Cru Classé
1 x scuffed label

The wine hits all cylinders in 2010. The average alcohol for the bottled wine is 14%. It has a gorgeously sweet nose of creme de cassis, spring flowers, subtle barbecue smoke and charcoal followed by full body, beautiful intensity, great purity, stature and length. The influence of any oak is minimal, despite the fact that 90% new French oak was used. Needless to say, this is an example of modern-styled winemaking at its finest, and arguments that such wines will not age well, do not represent their terroir , and are soul-less, are totally groundless. Give it five or so years of cellaring and drink it over the following 25-30 years. This is one of the great Margaux wines of the vintage. February 2013 Drink: 2018-2048 WA 96
