Château Lynch-Bages Bordeaux (5th growth) / 2022 / 375mL
Description:
On the nose, it reveals dark berries—blackcurrant, blackberry—with graphite, pencil lead, tobacco leaf, and violet blossom emerging with aeration. The palate is full-bodied and taut, boasting black fruit cores that are sculpted by firm, powdery tannins and a persistent mineral line. There’s a cool inner lift that offsets the intensity, leading to a long, structured finish that promises decades of elegant development.
