Tasting Notes
Bold blackcurrant, pencil shavings, and spice. Full-bodied with firm but ripe tannins and excellent concentration.
Our Review
Lynch-Bages consistently over-delivers for its classification. The 2020 offers the concentration and structure of wines costing three times the price, making it one of Bordeaux's greatest values.
