Dense ruby, still showing few signs of age. Deep, cool nose, very noble, dark fruity, charred wood, very complex, multi-layered, ripe plums, also herbs, a poem. The palate is taut, linear, dense and concentrated, the fruit is still fully present, the tannins already well integrated, this has enormous pressure and great pull, shows energy and top harmony. Finishes very long. Bordeaux at its best!

(2009) Complex aromas of dark chocolate, currant and cigar box. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a mouthpuckering finish. Still very concentrated and chewy. Finishes with loads of ripe fruits, tobacco and cedar. Big and juicy wine. Give it a couple of years still.

The nose had a mossy quality to it, made better by hints of blackberries and light baking spices. The palate, though, showed off the youthfulness of this bottle as redcurrants and blackcurrants were omnipresent in the upfront prior to notes of leather, oak and white pepper providing a backbone in the mid-palate. The finish was dominated by sous bois, licorice and herbs, boasting tannins that had yet to settle down.

Old school styled Pauillac, with a combination of strict, austerity and a charming, cedar, tobacco, cigar wrapper, leaf and cassis personality, the wine is full bodied, fully mature, ending with a spicy, cassis finish. Give it an hour of air, at this stage. It will add softness and depth.

Château Château Lynch Bages
Château Lynch Bages
Château Lynch Bages

Château Lynch-Bages is one of the great names of the Pauillac appellation, classified as a Fifth Grand Cru Classé in 1855. Located on the historic plateau of Bages, in the heart of the Médoc, this wine has embodied for several generations the controlled power and qualitative consistency that make the reputation of the great wines of Bordeaux.

The history of Château Lynch-Bages begins in the 18th century with the Lynch family, of Irish origin, before the property was taken over in the 20th century by the Cazes family. Since its acquisition by Jean-Charles Cazes in 1939, then under the impetus of Jean-Michel Cazes and today of Jean-Charles Cazes, the estate has continuously strengthened its identity and international renown. This family continuity constitutes a central element of Château Lynch-Bages's singularity.

The vineyard rests on deep, ideally drained Garonne gravel, an emblematic terroir of Pauillac, particularly favourable to Cabernet Sauvignon, the predominant grape variety in the blend. It gives birth to structured, distinguished wines built for ageing, combining aromatic intensity, tannic straightness and precision.

Vintages such as Château Lynch-Bages 1982, Château Lynch-Bages 1995, Château Lynch-Bages 2000, Château Lynch-Bages 1989, Château Lynch-Bages 2009 or Château Lynch-Bages 2010 illustrate the remarkable consistency of the cru and its essential status among the collectable wines of Pauillac.
