Parker 92-94The 2018 Lascombes is deep garnet-purple in color and a little reduced to begin, offering tar and scorched earth notions over an emerging core of baked blackcurrants, plum preserves and charcuterie plus hints of bay leaves and underbrush. Full, richly fruited and laden with ripe black fruits and earthy suggestions, it has a solid foundation of firm, grainy tannins and finishes long and savory.
James Suckling 94-95/100
This is a dense and very structured young red with currant and citrus character, such as burnt orange. Full-bodied with chewy yet polished tannins and a long and flavorful finish.
Jancis Robinson 15.5/20
55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot; 60% new oak. Barrel sample. Darkest cherry colour with black core. Spicy and marked by the oak on the nose with a note of dark chocolate. Lighter on the palate than I expected, relatively delicate tannins and not a lot of fruit flavour at the core but handled gently enough to be just about in balance, if a little oaky.
