CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2011 Lascombes is poured from magnum. It is pretty austere on the nose with blackberry, damp undergrowth scents and a touch of gravel. You wish there was more fruit. The palate is medium-bodied, though the tannins feel rustic and rather harsh, attenuating prematurely towards the finish. I am not a fan of this vintage, which validates my note from the 10-Year-On tasting last year.

This large, fragmented estate must be a logistical nightmare for winemakers, but the 2011, a blend of 55% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot, exhibits a beautifully scented nose of spring flowers, black raspberries, black currants, graphite and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied and rich with supple tannins, this terrific example of Lascombes continues their qualitative revolution that began over 15 years ago. One of the stars of the vintage, this beauty can be consumed over the next 20-25 years.

Tasted blind. Sweet fruit on the nose. Mellow and quite flattering and Margaux-ish. Just a little tannic on the finish.
