RATINGS

97Robert M. Parker Jr.

... a blossoming bouquet of blackberries, cassis, graphite and pen ink. Full-bodied with velvety tannins..., this wine is still an adolescent... One of the all-time great examples of Lynch Bages...

96Wine Spectator

Gorgeous aromas of plums, blackberries and licorice, with hints of mineral. Full-bodied, with full, silky tannins and a long, long finish. Big and solid. Fantastic. If you love Lynch, you won't be disappointed.

95Wine Enthusiast

...sumptuous rich style...With its sweet fruit, opulent but balanced wood and red and black fruit flavors...

92Stephen Tanzer

Dense, seamless and deep, with burnished plum and tobacco flavors enlivened by very good vinosity.

17.5Jancis Robinson

Toasty and appetising. Toasty and appetising. Very appealing subtlety and complexity on the nose...

REGION

France, Bordeaux, Pauillac

Pauillac is Bordeaux’s most famous appellation, thanks to the fact that it is home to three of the region’s fabled first-growth châteaux, Lafite-Rothschild, Mouton-Rothschild and Latour. Perched on the left bank of the Gironde River north of the city of Bordeaux, Pauillac is centered around the commune of Pauillac and includes about 3,000 acres of vineyards. The Bordeaux classification of 1855 named 18 classified growths, including the three above mentioned First Growths. Cabernet Sauvignon is the principal grape grown, followed by Merlot. The soil is mostly sandy gravel mixed with marl and iron. Robert M. Parker Jr. has written that “the textbook Pauillac would tend to have a rich, full-bodied texture, a distinctive bouquet of black currants, licorice and cedary scents, and excellent aging potential.”
