CHÂTEAU LYNCH BAGES 5ème Grand Cru Classé 2020

Intensives Rubinrot, in der Nase dunkle Früchte, Hauch Würze, am Gaumen sehr saftig, reife Brombeere, Cassis, gutes Säurespiel, toller Körper, langer Abgang, tolles Entwicklungspotenzial.

JAMES SUCKLING: "Blackcurrants, orange peel, flowers and tar with hints of graphite. Full-bodied with a creamy texture of exquisitely polished tannins. It goes on and on. Intense flavors at the end, too, with lead pencil and lots of blackberry. Very classic and precise."

ROBERT PARKER - THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2020 Lynch-Bages is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, aging for around 18 months in French oak barriques, 75% new. It has an alcohol of 13.41%, a pH of 3.73 and an IPT (tannin index) of 93. Opaque purple-black in color, it leaps from the glass with notes of crushed blackberries, cassis and boysenberries, plus touches of garrigue, red roses and cedar chest with hints of graphite and black olives. The medium-bodied palate has a rock-solid frame of ripe, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness supporting the tight-knit black fruit and earthy flavors, finishing long and mineral laced." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown
