Château Lynch-Bages 2018 (Double-Magnum)

Château Lynch Bages est l'un des domaines les plus connus du Médoc. Il repose sur un site magnifique à l'ouest de Pauillac (75% cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc). La renommée de la propriété s’est dessinée à partir de 1945 grâce à une série de grands millésimes. Le style des vins s’affine au fil des années, gagnant en souplesse et en complexité. Le caractère opulent et typique du Château Lynch-Bages l’inscrit dans la lignée des grands Pauillac. Généreux dès sa jeunesse, il évolue vers plus de structure, finesse et élégance avec le temps.

Notes de dégustation

Wineadvocate

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.

The 2018 Lynch-Bages has a wonderful bouquet of supremely well-defined blackberry, briar, crushed rock and pencil lead aromas that develop more floral scents with continued aeration (the samples were monitored over 6–8 hours). The palate is beautifully balanced with fine-grained tannins and superb acidity. Fresh and focused with a touch of graphite toward the finish. There is a swagger, a bit of brio, about this Lynch-Bages, one that will age over 30–40 years with style. Bravo, l’equipe Cazes! NM March 2021

Lynch Bages se positionne de manière brillante, convaincante. Il incarne très bien la typicité de Pauillac avec des effluves de cèdre et de graphite ainsi que des parfums de baies noires. En bouche c'est la finesse qui prime avec un bel équilibre entre la pertinence de tannins compacts et le tempérament d'une fraicheur conférée par l'acidité. Je relève l'aptitude de Lynch Bages à assumer sa finesse sans oublier sa puissance. Quelle belle réussite ! 2026-2053 - YB November 2020

15 Jan, 2021 – Aromas of blackberries, cloves, licorice, dried leaves, graphite and black olives. It’s full-bodied with firm, tight tannins. Structured and tannic with beautiful austerity and a long, mineral and layered finish. The tannins grow on the palate. Try from 2026.

One of the finest vintages I've ever tasted from this address, the 2018 Château Lynch-Bages has everything you look for in a great wine: incredible aromatics, richness without weight, perfect balance, and a purity of fruit that's just about off the charts. Dense purple, it reveals a glorious perfume of blackcurrants and blackberry fruits, a deep, unctuous mouthfeel, building tannins, and a complex array of cedar pencil, tobacco, wood smoke, and chocolate. A true blockbuster in every sense, with masses of fruit and tannins as well as moderate acidity, it will probably merit a triple-digit score in a decade and is a 50+-year wine from this team. - JD 11/2021
