Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

One of the finest vintages I've ever tasted from this address, the 2018 Château Lynch-Bages has everything you look for in a great wine: incredible aromatics, richness without weight, perfect balance, and a purity of fruit that's just about off the charts. Dense purple, it reveals a glorious perfume of blackcurrants and blackberry fruits, a deep, unctuous mouthfeel, building tannins, and a complex array of cedar pencil, tobacco, wood smoke, and chocolate. A true blockbuster in every sense, with masses of fruit and tannins as well as moderate acidity, it will probably merit a triple-digit score in a decade and is a 50+-year wine from this team.

About the Producer

Château Lynch-Bages, proudly established on the Bages plateau in Pauillac, is an iconic name in Bordeaux. This Cinquième Grand Cru Classé possesses a rich history, marked by the imprint of passionate families. Following Thomas Lynch in the late 18th century, it was the Cazes family who shaped the estate's identity starting in 1939. Long embodied by Jean-Michel Cazes, the estate is today managed by his descendants, who skillfully perpetuate a tradition of excellence. The wines of Château Lynch-Bages brilliantly express the typicity of the Pauillac appellation, offering a complex aromatic palette where dark fruits mingle with an elegant tannic structure, the estate's signature. In addition to the grand vin rouge, the remarkable Blanc de Lynch-Bages testifies to its capacity for innovation. Écho de Lynch-Bages, the second wine, offers a more supple and immediate approach to the Pauillac terroir, while retaining the elegance and character unique to Lynch-Bages. It is said that the village of Bages, once modest, has been transformed over the years thanks to the influence of the château. A sure bet in Bordeaux, which continues to captivate enthusiasts around the world.
