Score 76/100 · Drink 1989, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

The 1978 Lascombes is surprisingly green (even vegetal), lean, and acidic without any of the plump, round, generous, ripe, rich fruit that is one of the landmarks of this vintage. The wine lacks depth and richness, and seems quite mediocre given the high quality of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: Now-may be in decline. Last tasted, 3/89.
