Pauillac Grand Cru Classé 2014, Château Lynch Bages

Château Lynch Bages expresses the quintessence of a great Pauillac – power tempered by elegance. The wine’s distinctive character has earned it a place amongst Pauillac’s greatest: combining structure and finesse, and offering generous aromas in its youth, which develop into deeper complexities with bottle age. Lynch-Bages 2013 displays an intense red colour and a complex nose, combining aromas of black fruits, violet and pepper with subtle woody notes. The attack is full, suave, and balanced by a certain nervousness. The wine offers a nice balance combining aromatic elegance with fine tannins. The blend comprises 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.
