Château Lynch-Bages Pauillac Grand Cru Classe 2005

Classic Lynch-Bages with just a bit of extra power and richness. While the tannins are structured, it is the velvety fruit that rolls around the mouth that is the most dominant character. It is coming together into a wine that will be big and dense, but never over the top. 13% ABV.

The 2005 Lynch-Bages, is a sexy, surprisingly soft and accessible style of wine, with a deep ruby/purple colour, loads of crème de cassis, cedar wood and forest floor notes, medium to full body, ripe tannin and a long, fleshy finish. Drink it over the next 15+ years. 96 Points Wine Enthusiast, 96 Points Wines & Spirits, 96 Points James Suckling, 93 Points Wine Spectator and 92 Points Robert Parker.
