Château Lynch Bages, 2018
Availability:In stock
Vintage: 2018
Size: 750ml
Ratings: Robert Parker Wine Advocate 96, James Suckling 97, Wine Spectator 97, Decanter 96
Grape Blend: 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot & 6% Cabernet Franc
"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."

Description
Description
One of the best known and well liked Paulliac 5th Growths. The first writings that mention the lands of “Batges” date back to the 16th century. Located at the entrance of Pauillac, these lands were home to generations of wine growers for centuries.
In 2007, Jean-Charles takes over the family estates and launches a renovation project with architect Chien Chung (Didi) Pei. Marking four centuries of history and the culmination of four years’ hard work, the 2020 vintage, the first in the renovated cellars, has opened a new chapter in the life of the estate.
