Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Lynch Bages 5eme Cru 2016

97–99
/100

Lynch Bages 2016 består af 75 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 19 % Merlot, 4 % Cabernet Franc og 2 % Petit Verdot. 75 % nyt træ. Vi er nået op på den højeste koncentration af Cabernet siden 2010, hvilket er så meget desto mere spændende, fordi næsen dybest set repræsenterer Merlot med denne smukke frodighed. Med denne runde, næsten fede sorte kirsebær og brombær. Multebær tilføjes sammen med en smuk sødme, tobakskasse, cedertræ. Det gør det klart igen: Pauillac. Så kommer der solbær. Men alt er blødt, båret, næsten elegant. I munden dominerer Cabernet'en totalt, med en hel del drama og greb. Meget kraftige, rige tanniner. Meget Pauillac. Meget kraftfuld i munden med en lang, mineralsk finish. Solbær, brombær, sort lakrids, violer, fin bitterhed, men ikke overekstraheret trods al kraften. En kraftfuld vin med elegant storhed, friskhed og finesse. Men det forbliver en kraftfuld vin. Der er ingen poleret finesse i forgrunden, men tydeligvis moden, intens, maskulin Pauillac.

Jane Anson om: Chateau Lynch Bages 5eme Cru

Muscular but finely-tuned, with a floral, rose-stem edge to Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant flavours that elevates this beyond its surrounding vintages, as is often the case with exceptional 2016s on the Left Bank. Give it time in the glass if you are going near it any time soon, and allow the brambled fruits to appear, with creamy black cherry and damson puree on full display finessed with pencil lead, plum pudding, liqourice and slate-strewn tannins that give a mouth-watering finish. Great stuff, this is one to savour over the long term. 75% new oak. 99/100

Suckling om: Chateau Lynch Bages 5eme Cru

-- Suckling: This is really back-ended thanks to a powerful and almost endless finish. Full-bodied, dense and powerful with incredible concentration and length. Round and polished tannins. Layered. This unravels bit by bit. Energetic acidity gives it such superb freshness. This is at the 2010/2009 level. 98-99/100

Parker om: Chateau Lynch Bages 5eme Cru

-- Parker: Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Lynch Bages comes charging out of the gate with pronounced cassis, chocolate-covered cherries, mulberries and menthol notions, backed up by scents of garrigue, tilled soil and a waft of tapenade. Medium to full-bodied, rich and fantastically concentrated, the generous fruit is superbly framed by firm, ripe, grainy tannins with tons of pepper, cinnamon and cloves layers coming through on the finish. Truly, a legendary Lynch Bages! 97+/100

Neal Martin om: Chateau Lynch Bages 5eme Cru

--NM: he 2016 Lynch-Bages delivers on its promise from barrel with an intense blackberry, cedar and mineral-driven bouquet that actually reminds me of Lafite-Rothschild. A faint dark chocolate scent makes a brief appearance. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannin, pure black fruit and a velvety texture. There is wonderful structure and focus on the finish, followed by a persistent saline aftertaste. This is an outstanding Lynch-Bages, easily the best since the twin titans of 1989 and 1990. 97/100

International Wine Report om: Chateau Lynch Bages 5eme Cru

-- IWR: The 2016 Château Lynch-Bages is utterly captivating. Composed from 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot, which spent 18 months in barrel (75% new oak). This stunning Pauillac opens with striking aromas of ripe blackberries and dark cherries, joined together with fresh violets, tobacco and hints of licorice all developing in the glass. On the palate this is medium to full bodied with a gorgeous velvety texture which is underlined by lovely streak of acidity keeping it fresh and inviting through the finish. It continues to impress with its excellent overall balance, concentration and focus all they way through the long finish. While this is already showing plenty of character, it is ultimately and age worthy wine which will go on to evolve for decades. Jean-Charles Cazes and consultant Eric Boissenot have crafted a classic Lynch-Bages in 2016. 97/100

Wine Spectator om: Chateau Lynch Bages 5eme Cru

-- Wine Spectator: This flashes some sporty flavors of ripe cassis, plum and blackberry compote, but quickly pulls everything together with the terrific graphite spine. Alluring tobacco and anise notes line the finish. Delivers fruit, power and cut. A great showing. 96-99/100
