One of the most emblematic wines of Bordeaux, Château Lynch-Bages has been a Grand Cru Classé since 1855. The estate's vineyards are situated on superior, gravelly rises, overlooking the Gironde estuary south-west of the town of Pauillac. The terroir strongly favours Cabernet Sauvignon, and this variety invariably dominates the composition of the wine, complemented by smaller proportions of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. This is classic, Left Bank claret - refined and reserved, with a certain coolness, fine balance and the effortless ability to age gracefully. Riper vintages add a sumptuous richness and juiciness to this quintessentially elegant wine.

98/100 - In the running for the greatest vintage ever from this château, the 2009 Château Lynch-Bages is pure Pauillac magic, offering a powerful bouquet of blackcurrants, freshly sharpened pencils, smoked tobacco, and gravelly earth. It's full-bodied, has a concentrated, structured mouthfeel, building yet beautifully integrated tannins, and a great, great finish. It's just now at the early stages of its prime drinking window and has another 30 years of prime drinking ahead of it. I wish I'd bought more on release. Drink 2024-2054.

97/100 - Wow. Intense aromas of blackberries, currants and blueberries, follow through to a full body, with wonderful fruit and ultra-fine tannins. Fabulous Lynch. One of the top buys of the vintage. Best since 1989.
