Deep garnet-purple colored. the 2016 Lynch Bages comes charging out of the gate with pronounced cassis. chocolate-covered cherries. mulberries and menthol notions. backed up by scents of garrigue. tilled soil and a waft of tapenade. Medium to full-bodied. rich and fantastically concentrated. the generous fruit is superbly framed by firm. ripe. grainy tannins with tons of pepper. cinnamon and cloves layers coming through on the finish. Truly. a legendary Lynch Bages!

The 2016 Lynch-Bages delivers on its promise from barrel with an intense blackberry. cedar and mineral-driven bouquet that actually reminds me of Lafite-Rothschild. A faint dark chocolate scent makes a brief appearance. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannin. pure black fruit and a velvety texture. There is wonderful structure and focus on the finish. followed by a persistent saline aftertaste. This is an outstanding Lynch-Bages. easily the best since the twin titans of 1989 and 1990.

A stellar wine. the 2016 Lynch-Bages is dark and explosive in the glass. Beams of tannin and bright acids give the 2016 its sense of drive and tension. From bottle. the 2016 is quite a bit more powerful than it was from barrel. Dark flavors and potent tannins give the 2016 a distinctly brooding. somber feel. Sage. lavender. menthol. licorice and wild cherry are all laced into the potent. dramatically sweeping finish. Readers should not be in a rush. as the 2016 is going to need a number of years to be at its best. Even so. it is super-impressive today.
Verkostungsbericht vom 03. Februar 2019:
Very rich and exotic with blackberry. black-tea. graphite and lead-pencil aromas. Full-bodied. dense and structured with lots of ripe tannins and a long. flavorful finish of currants and forest floor. combined with fresh mushrooms and bark. Needs four to five years to show its true potential. Try after 2024.
