Château Lynch-Bages Pauillac Grand Cru Classé 2001

Château Lynch-Bages Pauillac Grand Cru Classé 2001

Dark garnet color and doing long legs on the glass side. Smoky aromas with grilled bell pepper, spices, earth and a light “funky” twist. On the palate it starts with meaty notes and leather, smoke, dense texture and fine tannins. Good acidity paired low chewiness. At the end was pretty good. Excellent (91)

Made of Cabernet-Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Aged in oak barreld (up to 70% being new) for 15 months. Alcohol level of 13%

Dark color with slightly orange rim. Evolution of the wine is more detectable on the nose with of dry fruits and leaves, old wood and tobacco. Flavors of plums and date are added to the aromas I had. In decline, can’t deny it, but did well at the table. Good (87)
