95 100Yves BeckPurplish purple. So much complexity and fruity intensity in this bouquet. Inviting notes of black berries, tobacco leaves and licorice. On the palate the wine is silky and supported by powerful and well-coated tannins. Beautiful aromatic intensity, lots of freshness and persistence on the finish. What a superb success from Lascombes. 2025-2044.

94 100James SucklingThe tannin quality is very pretty here with blackberry, walnut and hazelnut aromas and flavors. Full body, integrated tannins and a fruity finish. Pretty center palate. Grows at the end. Shows finesse and refinement.

94 100DecanterMore serious in feel than its 2018, which was excellent but a little lighter. This has serious tannins and is closer in feel to the 2016. Has the edge of glamor that Lascombes does so well, helped by a blueberry and black cherry fruit focus alongside the tighter blackberry bud notes. The oak finessing is obvious but not overdone. Good stuff. Healthy yields of 48hl/ha. 60% new oak. Harvest September 19 to October 16. Tasted twice two weeks apart. Drinking Window 2027 - 2045.
Purple red, with purplish reflections.
Aromas of rose petals and lavender, notes of kirsch, stewed plum, blackberry, supported by a touch of cinnamon.
Medium structure, complex, with a solid framework of firm, ripe and grainy tannins, a fruity, spicy vintage, with magnificent length on the finish.
Grilled steak, game birds, roast veal with chestnuts.
Serving temperature: 16 - 18°C
