Note di degustazione
70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Aged for 18 months in oak barrels (75% new). Crimson hue with a lighter edge. Dark-fruit notes with a hint of vanilla and spice. Juicy fruit on the palate with a touch of sweetness to the fruit. Medium-bodied with well-handled tannins. Slightly shorter finish but everything in place. Doesn’t quite hit the high notes but satisfying. (JL)

The 2017 Lynch-Bages has a pure bouquet with ebullient black cherry and blueberry fruit. The oak is neatly integrated, precise and controlled. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit. It's pretty dense with graphite-infused black fruit. This clams up towards a finish that is a little more austere than other recent vintages, although I admire its focus and structure. Great potential. Tasted at the Lynch-Bages vertical at the château.
Kicks things off with black pepper spice and curls of violet aromatis, majoring on the floral side of Cabernet Sauvignon; This is great quality, sappy tannins, with enticing layers of blueberry and raspberry fruits. A relatively early-drinking Lynch Bages, but one with poise and confidence. 75% new oak.
Tasted blind. Mid to deep ruby colour. Juicy red fruit on the nose with a little sweet cinnamon. This follows on the palate, which is crunchy but lifted in red-fruit character. A dry, classic style but there is enough energy for enjoyment here too. (TP)
