The Story

A prestigious Margaux displaying aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, violet, cedar, graphite, and subtle toasted oak. The palate is full-bodied with refined tannins, vibrant freshness, layered complexity, and an exceptionally long, elegant finish that rewards both immediate enjoyment and careful cellaring.

Food Pairing: Pair with grilled ribeye, roast lamb, venison, duck breast, truffle dishes, mushroom risotto, aged Comté, or mature cheddar cheese.

 

94 Points -

What a wonderful nose of ripe strawberries and hints of vanilla. Full body with soft and velvety tannins and a long, long finish. This is luscious and sexy.

 

92 Points -

Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Lascombes gives up notes of dried herbs, tilled soil and black olives over a blackcurrant cordial and plums preserves core plus a touch of crushed rocks. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers chewy tannins and bold freshness to support the savory flavors, finishing with an herbal lift.

92 Points -

Wood-driven tannins dominate at this stage, creating a wine that is structured and dense. The tannins are layered with the weight of the black currant and plum fruits. Lascombes is still finding its style, but is definitely on the upward slope.

 

91 Points -

Dark and nicely toasty, with ample espresso and ganache up front, followed by steeped fig, blackberry and black currant fruit that rumbles through the finish. Features ample tarry grip, but eschews minerality and finesse for a direct and toast-driven approach. Best from 2014 through 2026.
