18 Rene Gabriel
Sehr dunkles, tiefes Lila-Granat, violetter Rand. Von Anfang an eine geniale, tiefgründige Pauillacnase zeigend, viel blaue und erstaunlicherweise auch schwarze Beeren zeigend, Cassis, Brombeeren, Vanillestängel und schwarzes Brot. Diese ausufernde Aromatik setzt sich auch im Gaumen fort, man spürt die sehr wahrscheinlich massenhaft vorhandenen Tannine kaum, weil diese sehr reif sind und dem Wein so viel Körper und Wärme geben, langer Nachhall. Grossartiger Lynch-Bages, der zu den besten, wenigen Kaufwerten des Jahrganges gehört. Nicht zuletzt auch deshalb, weil ältere Weine dieses trendigen Weingutes in letzter Zeit vom Preis her nach gezogen haben und es - im Gegensatz zu früher - immer schwieriger wird, einfach so eine Kiste Lynch-Bages zu im Markt zu kaufen. Warum dem so ist? Weil viele Pauillacfans schon lange merkten, dass es nebst den Premiers gewisse Weine gibt, die in deren Klasse und vor allem Aromatik wenig nach stehen. warten (2015 - 2025)
89 Robert Parker
A big, fruity effort, the 2007 Lynch Bages offers lots of creme de cassis, damp earth, and subtle background oak. It is a deep, layered, lush, forward, evolved wine that will offer hedonistic drinking over the next decade.

Displays blackberry and other dark fruits on the nose, with hints of vanilla. Full-bodied, offering chewy tannins, yet polished and refined. A little hollow, but very attractive. Best after 2012. –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.
