Château Lascombes Margaux 2005
Wine Advocate
A gorgeous example of Lascombes, the 2005, a blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot, continues the remarkable turn-around in quality that began five years ago. A stunningly opulent wine with a dense purple color, the 2005 possesses a beautiful perfume of spring flowers, blueberries, blackberries, creosote, and graphite, full body, silky but noticeable tannins, a layered mouthfeel, and a stunning, 45+-second finish. This is a brilliant, modern-styled Margaux that should age for 30-35 years.
Score: 95.

Wine Spectator
Dark in color, with an impressive nose of licorice, toasty oak, chocolate and blackberry. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, caressing finish. Very pretty and structured. Best after 2012. 25,000 cases made.
Score: 93.

Barrel sample. There's beautiful fruit here: vibrant black plums and a touch of cinnamon. This has real Margaux elegance and character, with a fresh style, just supported by open tannins. Lascombes seems to be coming into its own at last. Score range: 91-93.
Score: 92.
