Château Lynch-Bages 2010 5. Cru Classé Pauillac

* Robert Parker 96 point * (læs anmeldelse nederst). Château Lynch-Bages er i dag en af de mest efterspurgte vine i den årlige “en primeur kampagne”, og i nogle årgange kan den være helt umulig at anskaffe. Det er både investorer, og vinelskere der efterspørger vinen, som godt nok kun er klassificeret som 5. Cru Classé, mens som i kvalitet kan hamle op med de fleste andre Cru Classé vine i området, selvom disse måtte besidde en højere klassifikation. Og det er ingen tilfældighed, at Château Lynch-Bages har placeret sig blandt de bedste. Det er et resultat af grundigt, hårdt og målrettet arbejde fra familien Cazes.

The 2010 Lynch Bages is an absolutely brilliant wine, and somewhat reminiscent at this stage in its development of the profound 1989. Jean-Charles Cazes, who took over for his father a number of years ago, has produced a magnificent wine with the classic creme de cassis note intermixed with smoke, graphite and spring flowers. It is a massive Lynch Bages, full-bodied and very 1989-ish, with notable power, loads of tannin, and extraordinary concentration and precision. This is not a Lynch Bages to drink in its exuberant youth, but one to hold on to for 5-6 years and drink over the following three decades.

* James Suckling 98 point * A wine with great beauty and finesse. Such elegance and ethereal quality for this estate. Full body, with ultra-fine tannins and a juicy delicious finish. Long and beautiful. This is the best Lynch in a long, long time. I love the precision here. Try in 2018.
