17 Rene Gabriel
00: Fassprobe (17/20): Noch verhaltenes Cabernet-Bouquet, feine Zimtnoten, Kirschen und Edelhölzer. Im Gaumen fest, zeigt recht viel Stoff, gut stützende Adstringenz, nicht zu unterschätzen. 02: Druckvolles Bouquet, mit würzigem Cabernet-Touch, Rumtopffrüchte, Vanilleschoten, ein Hauch Zimt und exotische Hölzer. Im Gaumen fest, füllige Tannine, Schokolade, Malz und toastige Aromen. Entwickelt sich prächtig (17/20). 05: Tiefe Farbe. Eine geballte Ladung und ein sehr überraschender, powervoller 99er. Ein sehr guter Wert! 17/20 trinken ( - 2015)
90 Robert Parker
This dense ruby/purple-colored 1999 is a modern day clone of this estate's wonderful 1962. The 1999 reveals forward, open-knit notes of creme de cassis and earth. It is fleshy, medium to full-bodied, and succulent, with supple tannin, excellent balance, as well as a long, pure, ripe finish. This seductive effort will drink well for 12-15 years, possibly longer.

This has never been a very serious Lynch. Shows some berry and tobacco character, with a medium body, fine tannins and a fruity finish. Simple.--Lynch-Bages non-blind vertical. Drink now. 35,000 cases made. –JS

Château Lynch Bages
Overlooking the Gironde estuary, Château Lynch-Bages is located on the outskirts of Pauillac, on the Plateau de Bages, one of the most beautiful gravelly rises in the appellation. The estate formerly belonged to the Lynch family, originally from Ireland, and was purchased by Jean-Charles Cazes in 1934. Starting in the 80’s, Jean-Michel Cazes undertook an in-depth modernization of Lynch-Bages, while preserving the former 19th century vat room. This a area is a rare example of traditional winemaking equipment that was used in Médoc many years ago. In 2006, Jean-Michel handed over management to his son Jean-Charles, and took on the project of breathing new life into the adjacent Village de Bages. The wines of Lynch-Bages reflect the family tradition of generosity and excellence. Lynch-Bages combines structure, finesse and elegance, offering generous aromas in its youth and developing deeper complexities with bottle age. The second wine, Echo de Lynch-Bages is round, soft and seductive in its youth, with outstanding potential for bottle age. The estate also produces a fine Bordeaux white, Blanc de Lynch-Bages, which is a lively and crisp wine with fresh fruits and white flower aromas that dance with delicate woody and vanilla notes.
