Chateau Lynch Bages Bordeaux blend Bordeaux Pauillac 2018

2018 Lynch-Bages Rating 96 Release Price NA Drink Date 2026 - 2055 Reviewed by  Lisa Perrotti-Brown Issue Date 31st Mar 2021 Source End of March 2021, The Wine Advocate Composed of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Lynch-Bages was aged in 75% new barriques. Deep garnet-purple in color, it soars out of the glass with a magnificently expressive nose of blueberry compote, black cherry preserves and blackcurrant pastilles, plus suggestions of dark chocolate, licorice, tar and violets with a waft of hoisin. The medium to full-bodied palate is just as impactful as the nose, coating the mouth with juicy black berry and spicy layers, supported by firm, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long with a refreshing earthiness coming through at the end.
