The 2021 Lynch-Bages picked at 34L/ha and matured in 75% new oak for a planned 18 months, has an outstanding bouquet, beautifully-defined, and sensual, a mixture of black and blueberry fruit, very fragrant. The palatte is medium-bodied with grippy tannins, good body and density, quite precise with a tensile finish. This fans out nicely on the finish. A very classy Lynch Bages with echoes of Jean-Michel Cazes' classics from the late eighties. 15.14% alcohol
The second vintage vinified in the Caze family's new winery, the 2021 Lynch-Bages unwinds in the glass with aromas of minty cassis, sweet berries, loamy soil, black truffle and cigar wrapper, framed by nicely integrated new oak. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and muscular, it's a serious, layered, powerful, youthfully structured wine that will come together beautifully with maturation in barrel. |
