Chateau Lynch Bages 2020 Pauillac

100 points - limited                                                                        Chateau Lynch Bages is one of our favorite wines from Bordeaux every vintage. Big, structured, almost too powerful for meager wine glasses. Limited.*Wine Spectator #3 Wine of 2023!*99 Points James Suckling: "A beautifully layered red with blackcurrant, hazelnut and lead-pencil character and fine, velvety tannins. Full-bodied and reserved. It’s like a tightly knit ball of polished tannins that are cashmere in texture. So very long and impressive. Give this time. A terrific Lynch."96 Points Wine Spectator:  "Gorgeous from the start, with cassis and violet notes leading off, followed by additional waves of black cherry and blackberry fruit as well as sweet tobacco and iron. Shows subtle savory and cedar hints that stay in the background, as the iron note pierces through the fruit on the finish. Almost approachable for the fruit, but wait if you can.
