Château Lynch Bages Pauillac 1855 5ième Cru 2014

Concentrated and muscular, this was the time when Lynch Bages was beginning to move into its more contemporary construction, with full on Pauillac signature at the top end. It was my wine of the year two years ago, and it delivers again – the graphite, the texture, the black fruits, the climb through the palate, it’s just briliant, and punches way above its weight. 70% new oak, Eric Boissenot consultant.
