JAMES SUCKLING: "Blackberries and spices, such as cloves and nutmeg, as well as licorice and hints of graphite. It's full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins, yet they are polished and beautiful. Structured. Solid."

ROBERT PARKER - THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Lascombes comes skipping out of the glass with bright, cheery scents of raspberry coulis, blackberry preserves and fresh blackcurrants, plus suggestions of pencil shavings, dried roses and charcuterie with a waft of bouquet garni. The medium to full-bodied palate has great tension and energy, delivering crunchy red and black fruit layers and a firm, grainy frame, finishing long with an herbal lift." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, dezente Ockerrandaufhellung. Attraktive schwarze Waldbeerfrucht, frische dunkle Kirschen, feine Holznuancen, kandierte Orangenzesten, etwas Nougat. Saftig, elegant, Brombeerfrucht, integrierte Tannine, frisch strukturiert, mineralischer Nachhall, verfügt über Reifepotenzial." - Peter Moser
