This is incredibly powerful and structured with so much tannin backbone and length. yet it’s cool and fresh with a compact palate and great length. Muscular.

Vibrant, with a violet and cassis lead-in that then expands to include steeped black cherry and plum fruit as well as extra savory, iron and licorice root notes. Nice latent grip too, with a mouthwatering tug of earth at the very end. The fruit is so vibrant, it's a tease now, but there's structure here for the long haul, so be patient. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2025 through 2040. –JM

Composed of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Lynch-Bages was aged in 75% new barriques. Deep garnet-purple in color, it soars out of the glass with a magnificently expressive nose of blueberry compote, black cherry preserves and blackcurrant pastilles, plus suggestions of dark chocolate, licorice, tar and violets with a waft of hoisin. The medium to full-bodied palate is just as impactful as the nose, coating the mouth with juicy black berry and spicy layers, supported by firm, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long with a refreshing earthiness coming through at the end.

An utterly fabulous wine, the 2018 Lynch-Bages captures all of the richness and generosity that make the year so appealing, and yet doesn’t stray too far from its classic feel. Rose petal, lavender, spice, sweet red berry fruit and mint are all beautifully lifted in the glass. Racy and silky to the core, the 2018 is a real head-turner from the very first taste. All the elements fall into place effortlessly. Readers will have a very hard time keeping their hands off this jewel of a wine.

Dark cassis. plum and cherry fruit flavors stream through in this red. harnessed well by bolts of iron along the way. Sweet tobacco detail echoes through the finish. which is seriously long. An extremely rock-solid wine in the making here.

The 2018 Lynch Bages is made up of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon. 19% Merlot. 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot aging in 75% new barriques. Very deep purple-black in color. the nose is quite coy and restrained to begin. fanning out to offer pure. ripe blackcurrants. black cherries and preserved plums with wafts of red roses. cigar box. incense. cardamom and fenugreek with savory touches of black olives. Marmite toast and smoked meats. Full-bodied. the palate is built like a brick house. with a solid foundation of very firm. very ripe. grainy tannins and superb freshness supporting the generous black fruit layers. finishing long with provocative ferrous suggestions.

The 2018 Lynch-Bages is a potent. racy wine endowed with real textural depth and intensity. Even so. it retains terrific nuance and vibrancy. All the classic Lynch-Bages signatures are present. but amped up. with huge tannins and equally huge fruit. The 2018 is going to need at least a few years to shed some of its baby fat. Today. it is decidedly rich and unctuous in style. Rose petal. lavender. mint and sweet spice add striking layers of aromatic nuance. The blend is 72% Cabernet Sauvignon. 19% Merlot. 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot.
