Score 85/100 · Drink 1994-2002, Robert Parker, Feb 1993

Deep ruby/purple, with a moderately intense bouquet of cedar, plums, and currants, the 1988 Lascombes is a spicy, robustly-styled Margaux. Medium to full-bodied and well-balanced, it is not as excessively tannic as many 1988 Medocs tend to be. Anticipated maturity: 1994-2002.

Smooth and generous, with simple raspberry, currant, smoke and spice aromas and flavors that persist into a finish that points toward cedar and fruit. Drink now. 26,500 cases made. Kames Suckling,Wine Spectator 1991
