1996 Chateau Lynch-Bages
The 1996 Château Lynch-Bages is a quintessential Pauillac that captures the structure, depth, and elegance of a great Left Bank Bordeaux vintage. A Fifth Growth in the 1855 Classification, Lynch-Bages has consistently outperformed its rank, and the 1996 vintage is a testament to its pedigree. Awarded 95 by both Decanter and Bettane & Desseauve, this wine has received widespread acclaim. Now beautifully mature, it offers a complex nose of cassis, cedar, pencil shavings, tobacco, and earthy graphite. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and structured with ripe black fruits, firm yet refined tannins, and a long, savory finish. The wine is a blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot and small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, drawn from the estate’s 90 hectares in Pauillac. Château Lynch-Bages, owned by the Cazes family since 1939, has a long tradition of producing bold, age-worthy wines that reflect the power and finesse of the region. The 1996 vintage stands as a stellar example of this legacy—mature, expressive, and deeply satisfying.

2015 Chateau Lascombes
Just recently we have been blown away by Chateau Lascombes from 2000, 2012 & 2015. We have been so impressed with the quality of this unsung hero; we have adopted a buy-on-sight policy so we can pass on the experience to our members & clients. While referring to the majestic Triple 96 Point 2015 Chateau Lascombes, Robert M. Parker Jr. went on the record with: "Probably the greatest Lascombes made to date," and it has been a very long process. The 2015 Château Lascombes is a bold and polished Margaux that beautifully captures the richness and finesse of this exceptional vintage. A deep, inky hue leads to a nose layered with blackberry compote, cassis, and violets, laced with hints of mocha, cedar, and sweet spice. On the palate, the wine is plush and full-bodied, with velvety tannins supporting a core of ripe dark fruit, while a streak of freshness keeps everything vibrant and in balance. The finish is long and luxurious, showcasing both the power and elegance that Margaux is known for. Château Lascombes has a storied history dating back to the 17th century, named after the knight Antoine de Lascombes, who was one of its earliest known owners. Classified as a Second Growth in the 1855 Médoc Classification, the estate has undergone significant transformation in recent decades. Major investments and modernizations, particularly since the early 2000s, have elevated the quality of the wines, making Lascombes a standout among Margaux producers. Today, the estate blends tradition with innovation, crafting wines that express both the character of the terroir and the precision of contemporary winemaking. The 2015 vintage is a striking example of that balance.
