Very deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Lascombes charges out of the gate with brazen scents of blackcurrant jelly, Black Forest cake and black raspberries plus touches of cedar chest, lilacs, pencil lead, camphor and crushed rocks. Medium to full-bodied, the palate possesses beautiful poise and freshness, with a firm line of ripe, finely grained tannins supporting the intense, crunchy black fruits, finishing on a lingering mineral note. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate
The 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. - James Suckling
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. Drinking Window 2027 - 2045 - Jane Anson, Decanter
The 2019 Lascombes is a rich, heady wine, as it so often is. A rush of inky dark fruit, crème de cassis, menthol, licorice and lavender builds as this voluptuous, creamy Margaux shows off its winning personality. Supple and forward, Lascombes is decidedly extroverted in feel, and yet all the elements meld together effortlessly. Lascombes is a big, extravagant wine, but the 2019 appears to be a bit more restrained than in the recent past. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
Lots of spice, baking chocolate, smoked herbs, and assorted meaty dark fruits emerge from the 2019 Château Lascombes, and it's a full-bodied, rich, powerful Margaux. It has plenty of tannins as well as mid-palate depth, so the cellar is going to be your friend on this one. - Jeb Dunnuck
