The Story

Château Lynch-Bages is one of those legendary estates that basically defined the stellar reputation of Pauillac. Sitting proudly on the "Bages" plateau—a prime, gravelly ridge overlooking the Gironde estuary—this property has serious history. It all kicked off in the 17th century with Thomas Lynch, an Irish-born Bordeaux merchant, and stayed in the family until 1824 back when it was just known as "Lynch cru."

BORDEAUX VINTAGE 2019

When I visited Bordeaux in early March, Corona was a threat on the horizon and France was more concerned about an air traffic control strike.

Written Notes

70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot. 
Black almost to the rim. So dark the aroma is quite subdued but there's cassis and rocky purity. Extremely firm, thick, compact. A wall of tannins now, almost impassable, but there's a sense of balance, and a need for great patience. (JH)

Lynch Bages – 70% Cabernet Sauvignon + 24% Merlot + 3% Cabernet Franc + 3% Petit Verdot, 75% new oak. Gentle effort in 2019 and sheer delight for one's taste buds with creamy berries and sweet tannin in every "corner". Silky texture yet quite fleshy and with splendid structure. Finishes well with a long lingering finish. 94p.

Dark purple colour with violet hue and black core. Densely woven nose with ripe berries in a quite classic style, blackcurrant, elderberries and blackberries. Subtle oak and mild spices in the background. On the palate well structured and balanced with good concentration and depth, very convincing length and promising potential.
