Jeff Leve om:
Chateau Lynch Bages 5eme Cru
The perfume kicks off with creme de cassis, blackberries, flowers, peppery herbs, cigar wrappers, and tobacco, and mint leaves. The palate delivers its message with creamy-textures, and racy tannins. The wealth of fruit you taste, and feel wraps everything up perfectly with its ocean of of chewy currants, sweetness, lift, length, and complexity filling your palate with its weight and density. It is also seemingly weightless, and deceptively easy to drink. The character of the vintage was shaped in large part by its low yields which produced tiny berries with thick skins giving a small, juice to skins ratio. The wine blends 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. 13.3% ABV. 3.70 pH. The harvest took place September 9 - September 21. Yields averaged 30 hectoliters per hectare. The Grand Vin was made from 65% of the harvest. Drink from 2032 -2065.
