A brilliant effort for the vintage, the 2007 Lascombes is an impressive, larger-scaled wine with beautiful notes of incense, spring flowers, blackberries, cassis, and subtle spicy oak. Full-bodied, rich, and concentrated, with no hard edges, this voluptuously textured Margaux can be drunk now or cellared for 15 years. Wine Advocate.April, 2010
Very attractive dark chocolate and blueberry aromas follow through to a medium body, with fine tannins and a medium finish. A little tight, but stylish. Best after 2012. 14,585 cases made. James Suckling,Wine Spectator 2010
Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Lascombes has a simple bouquet that is almost Burgundy-like in style, quite pure but a little monochromatic: simple redcurrant and strawberry scents laced with cedar. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannin, very smooth in the mouth, with a more high-toned finish than its peers. There is something quite lactic about this Margaux, easygoing but lacking the intellect of its peers. It is a Lascombes that is probably a point, but it should continue giving pleasure over the next decade. Tasted February 2017. Jun 2017, www.robertparker.com
