A powerful, textured wine, reminds you exactly of why we describe 2010 as an architectural vintage, and it would be churlish to say that this lacks some Margaux typicity - it is quite clearly a brilliant wine that has...

Decanter, January 2020

Lascombes in 2010 has exuberance and precision and confidence, and a sense of fun. At the 10 year mark the power of the tannins is clear and evident. It's a big, concentrated, exuberant wine but it has delicacy and...

Introducing the 2010 Lascombes Bordeaux Blend, a remarkable wine hailing from the prestigious Margaux region in Bordeaux, France. With a deep red color that exudes elegance, this wine is a true representation of the artistry and craftsmanship that Lascombes is renowned for.

Crafted from a blend of 50% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, this wine showcases the beauty of Bordeaux varietals coming together in perfect harmony. Aged for 18 months in 50% new oak, the winemakers at Lascombes have spared no expense in ensuring the utmost quality and complexity in every sip.

Upon the first swirl, the seductive and complex aromas captivate the senses. Notes of violet, chocolate, allspice, and cinnamon dance together, creating a symphony of olfactory pleasure. As the wine graces the palate, delicious flavors of blackberry and boysenberry emerge, accompanied by a touch of vanilla. The texture is silky smooth, caressing the tongue with finesse.

Renowned wine critic Alex Lallos gave this wine a stellar score of 96 points, emphasizing its outstanding potential for aging. He suggests that this wine will benefit from at least 5 years of cellaring, and will continue to age gracefully for over two decades. It is truly a wine for the discerning collector and enthusiast.
