The 1997 Lascombes is made in an up-front, light to medium-bodied, soft style, but at present the oak seems excessive for the moderate quantities of fruit. It will need to be drunk during its first 7-8 years of life. -Robert Parker
The Wine Doctor (6/2002) Rating: 13/20
A moderately coloured, transparent wine. A good nose, youthful in character, redolent of black cherries, coffee and liquorice. The palate reflects the 1997 vintage, quite softly textured and medium bodied, with supple tannins. There's a good amount of fruit in this pleasant, balanced but lightweight wine. Ready for drinking now.
