"Offering up a rich bouquet of blackberries, cassis, burning embers and sweet spices, the 2019 Lascombes is full-bodied, lavish and textural, with a voluminous core of fruit, lively acids and plenty of ripe, powdery tannin that asserts itself on the youthfully firm finish. This is a powerful, muscular style of Margaux that remains nicely balanced in its register." -William Kelley

"More 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 glamour that Lascombes does so well, helped by a blueberry and black cherry fruit focus alongside the tighter blackberry bud notes. The oak finessing is evident but not overdone. Good stuff. Healthy yields of 48hl/ha. 60% new oak. Harvest September 19 to October 16. Tasted twice two weeks apart."

"Richly fruity and very forward, with plum sauce, Black Forest cake and black currant pâte de fruit notes flanked by violet and alder accents through the finish. This will have fans for sure; drink in the near term. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now."
