Expert Reviews
Lynch-Bages has been part of the Famille JM Cazes portfolio since the 1930s, now run by Jean-Charles Cazes. Grapes for the 2017 (70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot) were handpicked and sorted, and the wine was aged in 75% new wooden barriques for 18 months. Georgie Hindle: Strong and authoritative – feels like quality winemaking on show. Ample mouthfeel, persistence and poise. I like the perfume across the whole palate. Gorgeous minerality and salty-touched chocolate blackcurrants too. Vincenzo Arnese: Classic nose with freshly shaved pencil, graphite and cloves. Great integration of tertiary aromas and fruitiness. Good balance and an incredible persistent finish. Andy Howard MW: Sumptuous palate with intense dark fruit, blackcurrant and plum. There’s lovely weight on the palate yet with freshness of acidity, ripe tannins and very nice oak support. Plenty of upwards potential here for both ageing and potential score.
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Lynch Bages sashays out of the glass with flamboyant scents of baked blackcurrants, blackberry preserves and mulberries plus touches of lavender, dark chocolate, star anise and unsmoked cigars. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has bags of class and finesse with firm, finely-grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and fragrant.
The 2017 Lynch-Bages is a wine of impeccable balance and class. Deep, fleshy and inviting, the 2017 should be ready to deliver pleasure with minimal cellaring. All of the Lynch-Bages signatures come through in a very pretty, deceptively medium-bodied wine loaded with personality. Lynch-Bages is never a huge wine, but like most of his colleagues, proprietor Jean-Michel Cazes opted for especially delicate extractions.
