Masses of Asian spice, earl grey tea flavours and pure cassis. Huge rich cherry menthol and black fruits. Weighty and serious. Absolutely brilliant finish. Very exciting. Best Lynch? 94-96 points. (Unc 04/04/11)

The 2010 Lynch-Bages has a stunning bouquet with pixelated black fruit, crushed stone and graphite aromas that soar from the glass. This is just amazingly focused. The palate is medium-bodied with concentrated black fruit curiously tinged with cough candy, which here I find just a bit out of place. The acidity is extremely well judged and there is immense persistence on the finish. Bold, brassy and ambitious, this is an extremely impressive wine, although I suspect that there are better bottles out there. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal. 95 points
