Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Lynch Bages 5eme Cru 2018

98
/100

Lobenberg: Château Lynch Bages ligger på Bages-plateauet over landsbyen Pauillac og Gironde. Den samme ejer som Pichon Baron, Jean-Michel Cazes, er ejer. Druesortssammensætningen i 2018 er 72% Cab. Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 6% Cab. Franc, 3% Petit Verdot. Betydeligt finere og mere rødfrugtet i næsen end søstervinshuset Pichon Baron med mere kirsebær, finere frugt, kold skal, rød frugtgelé, et potpourri af røde skovbær, stor koncentration, men også med stor finesse. Meget aromatisk, elegant indgang, masser af rød frugt ved siden af fin let lakrids, masser af røde kirsebær, ribs, slåen, brombær nedenunder og bare lidt cassis, blomster, lette violer, rosenblade og lette blomster. Superfin tannin, meget silkeagtig. Sammenlignet med monsteret Pichon Baron er Lynch Bages utrolig fin, delikat. Ikke helt denne udenjordiske højtflyvende version som Pichon Comtesse, men ikke langt fra. En grandios Pauillac, en ode til glæde og finesse, en delikatesse.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Lynch Bages 5eme Cru

One of the finest vintages I've ever tasted from this address, the 2018 Château Lynch-Bages has everything you look for in a great wine: incredible aromatics, richness without weight, perfect balance, and a purity of fruit that's just about off the charts. Dense purple, it reveals a glorious perfume of blackcurrants and blackberry fruits, a deep, unctuous mouthfeel, building tannins, and a complex array of cedar pencil, tobacco, wood smoke, and chocolate. A true blockbuster in every sense, with masses of fruit and tannins as well as moderate acidity, it will probably merit a triple-digit score in a decade and is a 50+-year wine from this team. 98+/100

Suckling om: Chateau Lynch Bages 5eme Cru

-- Suckling: This is incredibly powerful and structured with so much tannin backbone and length, yet it’s cool and fresh with a compact palate and great length. Muscular. 97-98/100

Decanter om: Chateau Lynch Bages 5eme Cru

-- Decanter: This is hugely impressive right from the off - strap on your walking boots, get your crampons at the ready, there is a wall to climb - not one that you ever hit by the way, because contrary to expectations this unfurls slowly, keeping the peak just out of sight. It’s great quality and one of my favourites from this property because it’s full of power but with a caress, so much tannic power too and yet so light of foot. It’s filled with absolutely delicious black chocolate, rosemary, cardamom and pepper but also lets the light in thanks for a fresh core running through. Having tasted it a few times it’s clear it’s going to age extremely well. 97/100

Wine Spectator om: Chateau Lynch Bages 5eme Cru

-- Wine Spectator: Dark cassis, plum and cherry fruit flavors stream through in this red, harnessed well by bolts of iron along the way. Sweet tobacco detail echoes through the finish, which is seriously long. An extremely rock-solid wine in the making here. 96-99/100

Parker om: Chateau Lynch Bages 5eme Cru

-- Parker: The 2018 Lynch Bages is made up of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot aging in 75% new barriques. Very deep purple-black in color, the nose is quite coy and restrained to begin, fanning out to offer pure, ripe blackcurrants, black cherries and preserved plums with wafts of red roses, cigar box, incense, cardamom and fenugreek with savory touches of black olives, Marmite toast and smoked meats. Full-bodied, the palate is built like a brick house, with a solid foundation of very firm, very ripe, grainy tannins and superb freshness supporting the generous black fruit layers, finishing long with provocative ferrous suggestions. 96-98/100
