ANTONIO GALLONI: "The 2021 Lascombes is a dense, plush Margaux, but also not quite as pushed as in the past. That's a good thing. A burst of ink blue/purplish fruit, chocolate, leather, licorice and mocha are front and center. As always, Lascombes is a pretty flamboyant wine, but it is also very nicely done. There is plenty to admire. Tasted two times."

DECANTER: "Dark chocolate-covered black cherries on the nose, so appealing. This is scrumptious, the combination of cool, crunchy fruit with ripe, plush tannins and generous acidity. I love the lifted nature, the sweet fruit aspects and the chalky, wet stone element to the tannins which coat the mouth. Feels precise and well worked. Lovely stuff. Tasted twice."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Dunkle Beeren, ein Hauch von Feigen, zartes Nougat, angenehme Edelholzwürze. Saftig, gute Komplexität, dunkle Kirschfrucht, gut integrierte, reife Tannine, etwas Schokolade im Abgang, zeigt Länge, sicheres Entwicklungspotenzial."

JAMES SUCKLING: "A juicy young red with currant and blackberry aromas and flavors. Some crushed stone and spice, too. Medium-bodied with juicy tannins and a round-tannined finish. Attractive fruit character."

JEB DUNNUCK: "The 2021 Château Lascombes is a darker, rich Margaux revealing some firm tannins yet good mid-palate depth and richness. Ripe blue fruits, a touch of chocolaty oak, medium-bodied richness, and good balance all define this solid, classic Lascombes that will round into form over the course of its élevage and, I suspect, drink well for two decades or more."
90-92
NEAL MARTIN: "The 2021 Lascombes has a fleshy, ripe, fruit-forward bouquet with black cherries, raspberry and inkwell aromas that gather momentum in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with quite plush tannins on the entry, good weight and breadth, yet missing some details and personality on the finish that slightly tapers away. Fine, but there are a few edges that need to be shaved and I think they will."
91-93
THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "With good dark color, the wine is soft, round, forward, polished, and already shows its ripe, dark, red fruits, espresso, smoke, and cocoa charms easily, Drink from 2024-2040."
89-91
THE WINEADVOCATE: "The 2021 Lascombes is a successful effort in a rather more punchy, modern style, opening in the glass with aromas of berries and plums mingled with notions of sweet spices, loamy soil and creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, rich and youthfully firm, it's deep and extracted, with plenty of ripe, powdery tannin that asserts itself on the finish."
