Impressive ripeness for the vintage with plum and light dark-chocolate character. Ripe, creamy tannins that are polished and pretty to taste. Full-bodied, but not too much. Flavorful finish. A blend of 57% cabernet sauvignon, 40% merlot and 3% petit verdot. Drink in 2022.

Deep purple-colored, the 2017 Chateau Lascombes offers up a rocking bouquet of blackcurrants, mocha, espresso roast, tobacco, and cedary spice. Beautifully concentrated, medium to full-bodied, and opulent even on the palate (which isn’t the case for many wines), it's beautifully balanced, has ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish. This is a hedonistic yet beautifully balanced, stunning 2017 that will drink nicely for 20 years or more.

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Lascombes leaps from the glass with black raspberries, mulberries and blackcurrant pastilles with hints of earth, herbs, meats and cedar. Medium-bodied, it has plenty of juicy fruit and is fresh and plush, finishing long with a mineral lift.- LPB

The 2017 Lascombes is dark, plush and sumptuous, as it so often is. A wine with no hard edges and tons of immediacy, Lascombes will be hard to resist pretty much upon release. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, menthol, licorice and lavender infuse the 2017 with striking depth as well as character. Readers should expect a racy, unapologetically flamboyant style. -- Antonio Galloni

Deep colour for a 2017 Margaux, a reflection of the small 25hl/h yield after frost. Enjoyable, skilful winemaking capturing the signature of the estate, more Lascombes than appellation signature in its character, with seductive brambled fruits, clear grilled cocoa bean, liqourice, smoked caramel and blackberry. Harvest September 20 to October 5. New oak reduced at this point to 50%, yield just 25hl/h after frost. Delphine Barboux technical director.

This features lots of perfume, with lilac, sandalwood, savory and bergamot notes working together, backed by a silky core of cassis and black cherry fruit. The elegant finish shows sneaky length. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2032. — JM

Oaky, round, dense, smoky and forward, this is decidedly modern in character, texture and style. The black cherries, licorice, espresso, smoke and oak will be much better when they meld together. 91 Points Read more at:https://www.thewinecellarinsider.com/wine-tasting-note/?vintage=2017&wine=Chateau%20Lascombes
