Robert Parker rating: 96/100
Chateau Lynch Bages is a red wine from the Pauillac village in Bordeaux, France, and is also a fifth-growth estate.For many consumers in Greater China, Chateau Lynch Bages is the most familiar among all the Fifth Growths.In Hong Kong, Cathay Pacific even used this wine as the welcome drink in first class.Lynch-Bages wine has already reached the level of a "super second growth." It has a very high reputation in Bordeaux, is highly sought after by wine critics and enthusiasts, and in Hong Kong, it is even referred to as the "everyday wine of billionaires."
"As a true classic of this estate, the 2019 Lynch-Bages performs exceptionally well, relaxing in the glass and exuding aromas of blackcurrant and sweet blackberry, mingled with notes of licorice, mint, cigar box, and fertile soil." The body is full, rich, and concentrated, making it a deep, multi-dimensional wine with a foundation of rich, powdery tannins and juicy, balanced acidity. This is the last vintage produced by the old estate of Lynch-Bages, and it will be interesting to compare this benchmark wine with the subsequent vintages in the coming years."
