About Chateau Lynch Bages
Classifications often fail to reflect the current state of a chateau, and that's certainly the case for this Pauillac Fifth Growth. Chateau Lynch-Bages makes rich, powerful, full-bodied wines capable of long life.

87 Points | International Wine Cellar , January 2012
(77% cabernet sauvignon, 15% merlot, 6% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot; 5.3 g/; total acidity; 13.1% alcohol): Garnet-tinged dark red. Aromatic nose displays a floral, delicately spicy quality to its red fruit, shoe polish, cedar and tobacco aromas. More red fruits in the mouth, with mineral and loamy nuances on the linear, moderately persistent finish. Better than a number of more evolved bottles of this vintage that I've had over the years.
