Château Lynch Bages, Cinquième Cru Classé Pauillac, Bordeaux, France, 2017

Grapes: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, 100ha vineyard on gravel/chalk/sand soils, hand picked, aged 18 months in French oak (75% new)

Producer Tasting Note:

With its deep garnet red colour and purplish-blue hues, Lynch-Bages 2017 offers a wonderful freshness, characteristic of the vintage. The attack is supple, rich, with a good volume. It expresses an aromatic palette of black and red fruit with spicy notes. The wonderful maturity of all our grape varieties has produced tannins of an excellent quality.

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"Deepest crimson. Lovely classic aroma of cassis and graphite with an attractive dusty/mineral overlay. Deep and still elegant, with refined dark fruit, super-fine tannins and a long harmonious finish. Shapely and elegant." Drink 2027-2040

17/20 points, Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, April 2018

"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Lynch Bages sashays out of the glass with flamboyant scents of baked blackcurrants, blackberry preserves and mulberries plus touches of lavender, dark chocolate, star anise and unsmoked cigars. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has bags of class and finesse with firm, finely-grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and fragrant." Drink 2022-2045

94/100 points, Lisa Perotti-Brown, Wine Advocate, March 2020
