Château Lynch Bages

Château Lynch-Bages is one of those illustrious properties that have contributed to the reputation of the great wines of Pauillac. In 1855, Château Lynch-Bages obtained the title of Fifth Grand Cru Classé during the famous classification of wines of the Médoc for the universal exhibition of Paris.

This 1995 vintage embodies the perfect illustration of the great wines of Pauillac built for aging. It has now reached maturity and is ready to be tasted, its potential will always be fully perceptible.

The dress is still deep purple, almost black, tinged with brilliant tuilés reflections. The nose presents a sublime bouquet of evolution, with notes of ripe black fruits, undergrowth, truffle and liquorice. There are also hints of cigar box and tobacco leaf. The attack is delicate and complex, revealing a tannic structure still present and a lot of concentration. Releasing beautiful tertiary flavors of cooked fruit and roasting, it stretches long without ever losing freshness and density. The finish is long, subtly peppery and very persistent. A Pauillac of exceptional resistance.

Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate – Château Lynch Bages 1995 rated 91/100.
