Chateau Lynch Bages 2019 (1x75cl)

Lynch-Bages is an intense red colour, while the aromas are a complex blend of black fruits, violet and pepper with subtle woody notes. The wine is balanced, combining aromatic elegance with fine tannins, and the first taste is full smooth and lively..95Wine EnthusiastThe wine is very dry, layered tannins giving a major sense of structure. It will always have this dry, dense character, very firm, solid and powerful.Barrel Sample:93-9592Wine SpectatorThis has a very solid core of dark plum, crushed black currant and blackberry fruit, with lightly firm flesh and good drive through the finish, where alder and iron notes fill in. Shows excellent energy and depth, while harnessing the austere edge of the vintage. Best from 2018 through 2025.92James SucklingAromas of blackcurrants, blueberries and lemons follow through to a full body, firm tannins and a fresh, clean finish. A little tight now but excellent. Precision to this. Back ended. Better in 2018.91Wilfred Wong of Wine.comChteau Lynch Bagesthe most celebrated wine of the Fifth Growthshas made an excellent wine in 2012. Ripe and generous, this wine exhibits loads of bright red fruit flavors. On the palate, it is a bit tight, and the tannins are just a bit noticeable. A few years in the cellar will resolve the hard edges
