Description
Château Lynch Bages, 5eme Cru Classe Pauillac, Bordeaux, France, 2001
Grapes: 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc & 2% Petit Verdot, 100ha vineyard on gravel/chalk/sand soils, hand-picked, 15 months' ageing in French oak barrels (65% new)
"The fully mature 2001 exhibits aromas of tapenade, bay leaf, licorice, red and black currants, damp earth and new saddle leather. Medium-bodied and atypically elegant and charming for a Lynch Bages with soft, fully resolved tannin and a moderately long finish, it is much lighter than a great vintage such as 2000."
88/100 points, Robert M. Parker Jr., WINE ADVOCATE, August 2011
"Quite dark crimson. Very rich and seductive on the nose. Some evolution and lots of burnt mineral aromas. Lifted and fresh on the finish. But not angular and awkward. Actually rather racy and refreshing after the opulent nose."
17.5/20 points, Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com, March 2012
