Chateau Lynch-Bages 2005

1855 Bordeaux Wine Classification (Fifth Growth)

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

"The Château Lynch Bages 2005 has an enthralling graphite and cedar scented bouquet, like a young cousin of the Grand Puy Lacoste. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, one of the most feminine and elegant Lynch Bages in recent years with a lightness of touch on the finish. That is not to say it lacks fruit intensity, but the balance is so assured that is just seems to glide over the mouth. Stylish, assured and meticulous winemaking here. Drink 2019 - 2045." - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate
