According to American wine critic Robert Parker (93 pts): “This
property has exploded in quality since it was acquired by the American
company, Colony Capital. Chateau Reignac’s Yves Vatelot was brought in
to oversee the winemaking, and everything was revolutionized with the
assistance of Dr. Alain Raynaud and Michel Rolland. This has now
become one of Margaux’s top wines, even challenging Palmer and Chateau
Margaux. The brilliant 2004 (50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and
10% Petit Verdot) is unquestionably one of the wines of the vintage.
An inky/purple color is followed by a gorgeously expressive, explosive
nose of creme de cassis, smoked meats, flowers, and graphite. Opulent,
medium to full-bodied, and beautifully concentrated, with tremendous
precision as well as uplift, this superb effort is atypically rich and
textured for a 2004. (2006…) The 2004 Lascombes appears to be superior
to the 2003. An extraordinary blue/purple color is accompanied by
knock-out aromatics of spring flowers, crushed rocks, charcoal,
blueberries, blackberries, and cherries. Medium to full-bodied, rich,
and textured, with impeccable precision as well as definition, this
beauty may be the finest Lascombes yet produced.”
