Most of Dale's Margaux notes snipped.

I tried a bottle of 70 Lascombes this summer in Minneapolis. I was surprised he
still had the bottle I gave him years ago.

Very light and elegant, with nose of light smoke. My only regret is that we did
not serve with a roast chicken.

What a surprise, from another Margaux second growth with a spotty reputation.
