Notes from critics
Lynch-Bages is beloved worldwide as one of Pauillac's most consistent and commanding estates. The 2023 vintage is a classic powerhouse, loaded with crème de cassis, graphite, mint, and dark gravelly earth. Massive yet finely sculpted tannins provide a sturdy backbone for decades of cellar evolution, while vibrant acidity keeps the dense dark fruit lifted and energetic. A true collector's Pauillac.

The nose of this Paulliac shows mint, asphalt, black currants and orange peel, following through to a full body with a compressed palate and a fine tannin backbone that gives this classic tension. Flavors of dried fruit, walnuts, plums, currants and tar. Classic Lynch character. A blend of 71% cabernet sauvignon, 24% merlot, 3% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot.

The 2023 Lynch-Bages is a dark, brooding wine. In so many vintages, Lynch-Bages is a wine of sensuality, but in 2023, it is quite the powerhouse. Formidable tannins wrap around a core of black fruit, spice, menthol, licorice and gravel. This is a somber, introspective Lynch-Bages with a ton of Cabernet Sauvignon character. I can't wait to taste this from bottle.
