CHATEAU LYNCH BAGES 2017

The 2017 Château Lynch-Bages is a refined Pauillac that earned 95 points from James Suckling, praised for its balance of elegance and power. Deep garnet-purple in color, it opens with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, mulberry, lavender, dark chocolate, star anise, and cigar box. The palate is structured yet polished, with fine-grained tannins framing juicy cassis and boysenberry layered with cedar, mineral notes, and fresh acidity that add lift. Finishing long and seamless, it is a seductive and approachable Lynch-Bages that can be enjoyed young but will also reward graceful aging.
