'At last, Lynch-Bages has its new cellar. It’s airy, functional, and striking, designed to give maximum flexibility to adapt to the château’s detailed vineyard analyses. Immediately of note is the energy and clarity that this inaugural vintage presents. Among the signature Lynch-Bages notes of cassis and tobacco, there are also perfumes of rose and violet. The palate rounds out and finishes with precision and sapid freshness, perhaps aided by the notably restrained alcohol of 13.5%. Drink 2028-2050.'     Berry Bros. & Rudd

Blend: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, 4% Cabernet Franc

Beautifully layered red with blackcurrant, hazelnut and lead-pencil character and fine, velvety tannins. Full-bodied and reserved. It’s like a tightly knit ball of polished tannins that are cashmere in texture. So very long and impressive. Give this time. A terrific Lynch. Better after 2027.
