"The 2019 Château Lynch-Bages is stunningly good, and it's going to be interesting to compare this to the 2018 over the coming decades. Based on 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, brought up in 75% new French oak, its dense purple hue is followed by an incredible bouquet of pure crème de cassis, freshly sharpened cedar pencil, spring flowers, smoke, and graphite, with an almost liqueur of rocks-like minerality. A massive, incredibly concentrated Lynch-Bages, Jean-Charles has hit a home run in the vintage, and this sensational wine has building, perfect tannins, insane purity, and a finish that won't quit. It has the purity, finesse, balance, and depth to offer pleasure not only today but to evolve for 40 to 50 years. Smart money will hide these for a good 7-8 years, but wow, what a wine. Bravo."
"Undurchsichtiges Purpur mit schwarzer Mitte und lila Rand. Konzentriertes, blaubeeriges Bouquet mit reifen Alpen heidelbeeren, dahinter schwarze Johannisbeeren, Lakritze, Schokopastillen und betörende Veilchen. Am fordernden Gaumen mit seidiger Textur und engmaschigem Körper, der Bulldozer verfügt aber über eine Anmut dank der perfekt stützenden Rasse und der herrlichen Extraktsüsse. Im gebündelten Finale explodiert das Kraftpaket mit Wildkirschen, tiefgründiger Terroirwürze und Bleistiftmine. Das ist das beste, was ich je hier degustiert habe! Der diesjährige Song zum Jahrgang ist treffend wie nie: «Blue Velvet»!"
"Even better in the bottle than it was in barrel, clearly, the 2019 is in contention for the best vintage of Lynch Bages ever produced! And that is really saying something considering all the fabulous wines that have come from the property over the last several decades. Almost opaque in color, the wine explodes from the glass with black currants, espresso, blackberries, wet earth, tobacco leaf, forest floor, and cedar. As if that wasn't enough for your senses, your palate is coated with layers of perfectly ripe, rich, dense, dark, red fruits, touches of spice, plums, blueberries, licorice, espresso, and a tiny touch of dark chocolate on the backend. This is intense, concentrated, long and expansive, and importantly, a great candidate for long aging. Drink from 2030-2065."
"Tight black fruits, run through with espresso, cocoa bean and bitter black chocolate shavings. Brilliant quality, with tannic heft and precision. Takes a jump halfway through the palate and lifts right off. I have tasted this several times over the past few months, and it consistently performs. 75% new oak, Eric Boissenot consults."
"Fantastic blackberries, blackcurrants, lead pencil and violets. So Pauillac on the nose! Full-bodied with a dense, layered palate and tight yet plush tannins that give the wine layers and gravitas. Compact. Long finish. Silky. Reminds me of a modern, classic version of something like the wonderful 1985 Lynch. Try after 2026."
"Intense, deep and dark aromatics - such wonderful Cabernet notes on the nose. This is incredibly impactful from the very first taste, it grips the mouth and courses with power but in a well balanced, harmonious way. Mouthwatering fruit juice is backed by tannins that, although fill the mouth entirely, come across as quite ripe and soft with a backbone of menthol cooling freshness that goes from start to finish. A Pauillac with such an enticing dark profile, concentrated and direct but also so much to give. Still not near it's potential yet. Drinking Window 2026 - 2047"
"Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart nach Nougat und Kardamom, ein Hauch von Bourbonvanille und Kokos, schwarze Kirschen. Straff und engmaschig, lebendiger Säurebogen, reife Kirschen, präsente, gut eingebundene Tannine, mineralisch-salzig, hat Energie und Länge, sehr gutes Reifepotenzial."
"The wine's power is important and impressive. Behind this lies a solid structure along with powerful black fruits, allowing the succulent nature of the Cabernet Sauvignon to shine. The wine will develop slowly over many years. Drink from 2027."
