Château Lynch-Bages 2015 Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Bordeaux France
96 Points Vinous | 96 Points Wine Enthusiast | 95 Points James Suckling
The Château Lynch-Bages 2015 Grand Cru Classé is a benchmark Pauillac from one of Bordeaux's most celebrated Fifth Growth estates. Produced from an outstanding vintage, this classic Left Bank blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, delivers remarkable power, finesse, and longevity. Aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, graphite, cedar, tobacco leaf, fresh mint, and floral notes lead to a rich, full-bodied palate layered with dark berry fruit, mocha, licorice, and spice. Aged in 75% new French oak, the wine is supported by refined tannins, vibrant freshness, and an exceptionally long finish. Already impressive with decanting, this cellar-worthy Pauillac will continue to evolve beautifully for decades.
