Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate #158 (4/2005) Rating: 93 points Drink: 2007-2020
A candidate for one of the top wines of the vintage, Lascombes has turned in a brilliant effort with a deep ruby/purple color as well as gorgeous aromas of plums, cassis, black cherries, and flowers. It boasts a terrific texture, medium to full body, an expansive, multi-layered mid-palate and a tremendously pure finish revealing nicely integrated wood, acidity, alcohol, and tannin. This is a beauty of precision and power. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2005) Score:87
Aromas of blackberries and lots of toasted oak. Medium-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and a medium finish. Modern and well done. Best after 2007. 14,165 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Closed nose, dense, plummy. Rich, plump, opulent, full bodied, big and almost brash, massive fruit backed by firm tannins. An imposing wine. Drink 2009-25.
