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.

Tasted blind at the 2007 Bordeaux horizontal in Southwold. Although I often find Lascombes over-ripe, I cannot deny that this 2007 is one of the better examples from Margaux. It has a ripe blackberry, cedar and tar scented nose with a touch of scorched earth. The palate is medium-bodied with sharp acidity on the entry, grainy in texture, good backbone but quite dry towards the finish. Fine. Tasted January 2011.

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 à point, but it should continue giving pleasure over the next decade. Tasted February 2017.
