Bordeaux / France

Red

A healthy, youthful dark plum/ruby/purple color is followed by a bouquet of smoke, barbecued meats, black currants and new saddle leather. With full body and sweet tannin, this 2003 is strutting its stuff. Although it is not as fine as the 1989, 1990, or 2000, it is a complex, classic Pauillac to enjoy over the next decade.

Loads of rich, plummy fruit with vanilla undertones follows through to a full-bodied palate, with soft tannins and a long, long finish. Gorgeous.--Lynch-Bages non-blind vertical. Best after 2010. 35,000 cases made. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2007

Château Lynch-Bages

Château Lynch-Bages was originally founded in the 18th century by Thomas Lynch, the son of a Galway merchant, who had fled to Bordeaux after the defeat of Catholic King James by William of Orange at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. Thomas was born in Bordeaux and married Elisabeth Drouillard, the daughter of the owner of the Bages estate. Following the death of her father in 1749, Elisabeth and Thomas inherited the estate, affixing the Lynch name to the property in the village of Bages. Château Lynch-Bages has been owned by the Cazes family since 1939.

Chateau Clos de Sarpe: Tasting through the Ages

Clos de Sarpe is a rather unassuming place to visit, nestled in a little enclave north east of the village of Saint Emilion. It is in fact a tiny property in Bordeaux terms, made up of just 3.7 hectares and producing a maximum of 14,000 bottles a year, but more often than not, closer to just 10,000. In 2018 they ...
