Château Lynch-Bages (Pauillac) 2021 750ml

96 Points, Vinous: The 2021 Lynch-Bages, picked at 34hL/ha and matured in 75% new oak for a planned 18 months, has an outstanding bouquet, beautifully-defined and sensual, a mixture of black and blueberry fruit, very fragrant. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins, good body and density, quite precise with a tensile finish. This fans out nicely on the finish. A very classy Lynch-Bages with echoes of Jean-Michel Cazes' classics from the late 80s.
