Purchased by Jean-Charles Cazes in the late 1930s, this reputed fifth growth Pauillac has remained in the family ever since. His innovative son, Jean Michel took over in 1973 and modernised not just the winery facilities but the sales and marketing strategy, pioneering the promotion of Bordeaux wines to China in the mid-80s. This has resulted in Lynch Bages becoming one of the most popular Cru Classé in Asia.
“A sensational effort for the vintage, this textured, opulent, superb Lynch Bages is already strutting its stuff and should easily last for 20 years. Medium to full-bodied with an opaque dense purple color, notes of flowers and cassis, a layered texture that builds incrementally in the mouth and tremendous purity and depth, it can be drunk now or cellared for two decades or more. Bravo!” Wine Advocate #196
Great with roast lamb, rib-eye steak and mature cheeses.

I like this Reserva from RdD. 100% Tempranillo aged for 24 months in oak barrels.
3.8 stars with more aging potential.
A deep ruby red and purple shades. Thick long legs in the glass.
On the nose medium intense aromas of blackberries, black cherries, black raspberries, horse saddle, leather and slightly oak.

90 pts Given the quality of the Crianza I really was delighted to find this Reserva, needs way more time to fully flower however, still very enjoyable for me now. The Crianza is ready now, but this shows sleeping intensity and great future potential and longevity, wait a few years however.
Typical earthy red fruit with good use of oak, dusty vanilla. Weighty, full with a long finish, it will be a star in the future.
