Chateau Lynch Bages Pauillac 2005 750ML

The tight fruits from a few years ago are finally starting to soften, and this is showing gorgeous black cherry and cassis fruits, tobacco and cigar box edging, still muscular but now letting the mint leaf and fresh acidities fill the palate.

A meaty and decadent Lynch with very ripe currant aromas on the nose. Full body, velvety-textured tannins and a powerful finish. It shows so much structure and fruit yet remains polished and focused.

Classic Lynch-Bages with just a bit of extra power and richness. While the tannins are structured, it is the velvety fruit that rolls around the mouth that is the most dominant character. It is coming together into a wine that will be big and dense, but never over the top.
