The dark, beautifully deep color displays brilliant purple hues. After swirling,
a subtle nose of spices, black fruits and licorice comes through,
enveloped by subtle toasty notes with roasted coffee beans. The palate,
after a supple entry, is explosive whereas the discreet oak comes through
subtly in the background, leaving the way for the fruit to come to the fore
front. The 2005 vintage is structured around a perfect balance of freshness,
power, roundness, smoothness and very elegant tannins, which
together make up an ideal harmony.As every year, the Chevalier de Lascombes
is made in such a way that it can be enjoyed in the medium term.

The Chevalier de Lascombes 2005is no exception and can be enjoyed for its fruit
and suppleness, whilst maintaining a concentration and elegance worthy of a Margaux wine.
