Decanter, February 2019

In 2009, Lascombes was still going long on exuberant expression, and it's still apparent after 10 years. The concentrated palate of ripe fruit, exotic spices and black olives, with some coal, tar and cloves on the finish...

Very balsamic with slightly chewy tannins, this is a rustic expression of the vintage that needs substantial food to give its best. Plenty of freshness at the finish though. Drink now.

A vintage famed for its ripe fruits and firm tannic hold, and one that leans into the style of Lascombes, showing exuberant spice. Black pepper, turmeric, smoked cumin, blueberry, blackberry, cassis puree, young in...

With noticeable oak, licorice, jam, smoke and ripe, black and blue fruits, this rich, concentrated, supple wine, produced from a blend of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 48% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot ends with a rich, chocolate...

92+ The 2009 Lascombes is blessed with a classy, very well defined, cedar and forest floor scented bouquet with seamlessly integrated oak. This has real style and panache. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin...

Wine Enthusiast, February 2012

A wood- and fruit-driven wine very modern in style. It has the ripest fruit along with dense tannins and concentration. The style is more international than Margaux but the wine is certainly delicious.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, March 2019

The medium to deep garnet colored 2009 Lascombes reveals notes of stewed plums, baked blackberries and dried mulberries with touches of sweaty leather, raisin cake and hoisin. Full-bodied with a rugged, chewy frame, the...

The 2009 Lascombes Bordeaux Blend from Margaux, France, is a deep garnet red wine produced by Lascombes. It has an alcohol content of 14.0% and is sealed with a cork closure. This wine has garnered praise from several renowned wine critics.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown of Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gave it a score of 91, noting its "rugged, chewy frame" and a mid-palate offering "a good core of earth-laced fruit, finishing a little rustic." Perrotti-Brown describes the wine as having complex notes of "stewed plums, baked blackberries, and dried mulberries," with additional hints of "sweaty leather, raisin cake, and hoisin."

James Suckling rated the wine 93, highlighting its "very balsamic" quality and "slightly chewy tannins." He recommends pairing the wine with substantial food to bring out its best qualities, noting that it has "plenty of freshness at the finish."

Neal Martin from Vinous also awarded it a 92+ score, appreciating its "classy, very well defined, cedar and forest floor scented bouquet" and "seamlessly integrated oak." Martin praises the wine for its "real style and panache," noting its "silky smooth texture with sweet black cherry, boysenberry, white pepper, and cedar notes." He suggests that the wine requires at least a decade of bottle aging for optimal enjoyment.

Wine Enthusiast also scored it 92, calling it a "wood- and fruit-driven wine very modern in style." They describe it as having "the ripest fruit along with dense tannins and concentration," though they point out that its style is "more international than Margaux."

Decanter matched Suckling's score of 93, describing the wine as having a "concentrated palate of ripe fruit, exotic spices, and black olives," with additional notes of "coal, tar, and cloves on the finish."

Jeff Leve from TheWineCellarInsider.com rated it 92, noting its "noticeable oak, licorice, jam, smoke, and ripe, black and blue fruits." He describes the wine as "rich, concentrated, and supple," ending with a "rich, chocolate-coated, blackberry, coffee, and licorice finish."

Jane Anson awarded the wine another 93, emphasizing its "ripe fruits and firm tannic hold" with "exuberant spice." Anson mentions flavors of "black pepper, turmeric, smoked cumin, blueberry, blackberry, and cassis puree," with a "kick of eucalyptus" balancing the "clear grilled and charred oak."

Overall, the 2009 Lascombes Bordeaux Blend is praised for its complex and concentrated flavors, though it is noted for being less typical of the Margaux appellation. It is recommended for those who enjoy a modern, international style of Bordeaux.
