2015 Château Lynch-Bages, Pauillac, Bordeaux

Ch. Lynch-Bages shines out like a beacon this year; it is one of our favourite wines of the vintage. It has a very generous nose of toasty oak and dark fruits, which are immediately appealing. The powerfully structured palate has savoury hints of liquorice and ripe black juicy fruit combined in a dense, brooding, almost muscular mouth-feel. 

Displaying some elegance too, this Cabernet-dominated wine will gain even more weight in barrel, and it could be tremendously stunning with patience. This estate now effortlessly outperforms its designated 1855 classification.

70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot
