Chateau Lynch Bages

Lisa Perrotti Brown am 30.11.2018

Deep garnet-purple colored. the 2016 Lynch Bages comes charging out of the gate with pronounced cassis. chocolate-covered cherries. mulberries and menthol notions. backed up by scents of garrigue. tilled soil and a waft of tapenade. Medium to full-bodied. rich and fantastically concentrated. the generous fruit is superbly framed by firm. ripe. grainy tannins with tons of pepper. cinnamon and cloves layers coming through on the finish. Truly. a legendary Lynch Bages!

The 2016 Lynch-Bages delivers on its promise from barrel with an intense blackberry. cedar and mineral-driven bouquet that actually reminds me of Lafite-Rothschild. A faint dark chocolate scent makes a brief appearance. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannin. pure black fruit and a velvety texture. There is wonderful structure and focus on the finish. followed by a persistent saline aftertaste. This is an outstanding Lynch-Bages. easily the best since the twin titans of 1989 and 1990.

A stellar wine. the 2016 Lynch-Bages is dark and explosive in the glass. Beams of tannin and bright acids give the 2016 its sense of drive and tension. From bottle. the 2016 is quite a bit more powerful than it was from barrel. Dark flavors and potent tannins give the 2016 a distinctly brooding. somber feel. Sage. lavender. menthol. licorice and wild cherry are all laced into the potent. dramatically sweeping finish. Readers should not be in a rush. as the 2016 is going to need a number of years to be at its best. Even so. it is super-impressive today.

Verkostungsbericht vom 03. Februar 2019:

Very rich and exotic with blackberry. black-tea. graphite and lead-pencil aromas. Full-bodied. dense and structured with lots of ripe tannins and a long. flavorful finish of currants and forest floor. combined with fresh mushrooms and bark. Needs four to five years to show its true potential. Try after 2024.

The 2017 Blanc de Lynch Bages. already bottled. is a blend of 41% Sémillon. 40% Sauvignon Blanc and 19% Muscadelle. It leaps from the glass with exuberant notes of white peaches. pink grapefruit and passion fruit plus hints of dried herbs. cedar and honeysuckle. Medium-bodied. elegantly played and wonderfully refreshing in the mouth. it has a quiet intensity that grows into a vibrant expression on the finish.

Lots of spiced pears and lemon rind with lemon-grass and stone undertones. Gun flint. Full body and dense. creamy texture. Phenolic. Pure with lively acidity. Really lively at the end! A blend of 41% semillon. 40% sauvignon blanc and 19% muscadelle. Drink or hold.
 

Er gilt als einer der spannendsten Weissweine die im Medoc produziert werden.

The 2020 Blanc de Lynch-Bages, fermented in temperature-controlled barrels, raised in 50% new oak and bottled in April 2021, has a well-defined bouquet, scents of yellow plum intermingling with gooseberries and crushed stone. The palate is well balanced; the 20% Sémillon transcending its “bit part” in the blend by furnishing this white Bordeaux with a slightly honeyed texture and subtle tropical notes of white peach and passion fruit. This is all counterbalanced by a fine bead of acidity, and though it does not possess enormous length, there is a precision that is very appealing.
