Chateau Lynch Bages 2019

Der Lynch Bages 2019 ist unglaublich konzentriert, aber auch perfekt strukturiert und mit dem attratktiven Aromprofil, das dieses Chateau so populär macht. Cassis, Minze, Zedernholz und Tabak sind nicht untypisch für Pauillac aber Lynch Bages bringt es auf eine saftige, üppige Art an den Gaumen, die dank der vielen Schichten, der Tiefe und Komplexität dennoch nie banal wirkt.

99 Antonio Galloni vinous.com The 2019 Lynch Bages is every bit as magnificent from bottle as it was from barrel, if not moreso. What a wine! Towering and vertical in its bearing, the 2019 is a total stunner. There is plenty of Lynch Bages charm, but what distinguishes the 2019 most is its spine of tannin and energy. Time in the glass brings out sweet red cherry, plum, blood orange and pomegranate and mint. The 2019 is a great, great Lynch Bages. It reminds me of the epic 1989 but with the youtful grip of the vintage. A towering Pauillyc, the 2019 Lynch Bages will make a great addition to any cellar.

100 Jeb Dunnuck The 2019 Château Lynch-Bages is stunningly good, and it's going to be interesting to compare this to the 2018 over the coming decades. Based on 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, brought up in 75% new French oak, its dense purple hue is followed by an incredible bouquet of pure crème de cassis, freshly sharpened cedar pencil, spring flowers, smoke, and graphite, with an almost liqueur of rocks-like minerality. A massive, incredibly concentrated Lynch-Bages, Jean-Charles has hit a home run in the vintage, and this sensational wine has building, perfect tannins, insane purity, and a finish that won't quit. It has the purity, finesse, balance, and depth to offer pleasure not only today but to evolve for 40 to 50 years. Smart money will hide these for a good 7-8 years, but wow, what a wine. Bravo. 100/100
