2013 Lynch-Bages (Pauillac)
Secondary Description
Mainly oak and graphie on nose at this stage. But on the palate perfumed, black fruit. Good acidity, freshness and vivacity. It has a rounder texture with fine tannins, minerals and is a very well crafted wine. Just a nice amount of grip, cool, black fruit on the finish. (CW 30/03/14)

The 2013 Lynch-Bages is one of the better Pauillacs in this vintage. With lively black fruit on the nose, there`s some essence of mineralite and tension. A cassis hint emerges with time. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins. Touches of cola infuse the black fruit. It`s sweet on the finish with blood orange and herbaceousness on the aftertaste. Thoroughly enjoyable, given the growing season. Tasted at Bordeaux Index`s 10-Year On tasting. 89 points
