Score 16/20 · FINE+RARE

A very classic nose of cassis, cedar and plum. Very pure, medium weight. Just a classic well made claret with no great distinction other than being delicious!

A quarter of what doesn't make it into Lynch Bages now goes towards making this wine. It is an impressive 2nd wine for Lynch Bages - full-bodied, tannic with very dense flavours. It is not a complex wine but it has been skilfully made and displays good balance and length. Jeannie Cho Lee MW asianpalate.com

Brilliant fruit, with super clean and intense aromas of fruit and flowers. Full body, with super refined tannins. 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, and 9% Cabernet Franc. James Suckling, jamessuckling.com
