  The Wine Advocate
  "A gorgeous example of Lascombes, the 2005, a blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot, continues the remarkable turn-around in quality that began five years ago. A stunningly opulent wine with a dense purple color, the 2005 possesses a beautiful perfume of spring flowers, blueberries, blackberries, creosote, and graphite, full body, silky but noticeable tannins, a layered mouthfeel, and a stunning, 45+-second finish. This is a brilliant, modern-styled Margaux that should age for 30-35 years."

  "52 % Cabernet Sauvi - gnon, 45 % Merlot, 3 % Petit Verdot, 40 hl/ha, 80 % Grand Vin, 100 % neue Barriquefässer. Dunkles Rubin mit aufhellend wässrigem Rand. Noble, reife Cassisnase, gepaart mit edler Würze. Im zweiten Ansatz Ledernoten, heller Tabak und Rosenholz. Am kraftvollen Gaumen stützendes Tannin mit herrlicher, reifer Extraktsüsse. Im gebündelten, aromatischen Finale Waldhimbeeren und edle Thymiannote. Grandioser Lascombes!"

  Wine Spectator
  "Dark in color, with an impressive nose of licorice, toasty oak, chocolate and blackberry. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, caressing finish. Very pretty and structured. 25,000 cases made."

  "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, fast opaker Kern, violette Randaufhellung, in der Nase saftige Beerenfrucht, angenehme Toastnote, etwas Rosinen. Am Gaumen stoffig, opulent, hat Fleisch auf den Knochen, gut integrierte Tannine, die dem Wein eine sehr gute Länge verleihen, mineralisches Finish, sehr gutes Entwicklungspotenzial, zarte Kaffeenote im Nachhall. - BEST BUY"

  "The 2005 Lascombes is a blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and 3% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-brick in color, it leaps with a vibrant nose of boysenberries, cassis, and wild blueberries with suggestions of menthol and cedar. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers a firm, fine-grained texture with lovely freshness and purity, culminating in a long fruity finish. Delicious now, it should keep a further 15 years+. Around 25,000 cases were made. Lascombes is the largest vineyard in Margaux at nearly 300 acres, 50% planted to Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Petit Verdot."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "Pungent aromas of vanilla, blackberry, blueberry, licorice, black cherry and espresso. Thick, rich, dense, lush and polished, this powerful, fruit filled Margaux wine demands up to a decade to shed its oak dominated personality."

  "Lascombes is approaching the form its status as a second growth suggests. This wine is close, packed with dark fruits, figs and juicy black currant extract. The aftertaste has some bitterness, with layers of toast and spice coming through strongly. "
