Another incredibly successful sleeper of the vintage, the 2008 Lascombes confirms just how many top 2008s were produced. A dark plum/ruby/purple-tinged color is followed by a sexy, up-front perfume of forest floor, damp earth, blue and red fruits and a touch of spicy oak. Lush with low acidity and sweet tannin, it appears to be a bigger version of the stunning 2008 Malescot St.-Exupery. Drink it over the next 15 or more years it is well-worth buying by the case.93 points from Robert Parker, The Wine AdvocateBy his demand and all the care that contributes to his excellence on a daily basis, Chteau Lascombes can claim the highest step of Margaux. At the same time firm and unctuous, it is a wine of great temperament and great guard, which is born to cross the decades. The beautiful proportion of merlot in its assemblage also makes it very appreciable in its early years.
