Big, structured, almost too powerful for meager wine glasses. Limited.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*Wine Spectator #3 Wine of 2023!*\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e99 Points Jeb Dunnuck: \u003c\/strong\u003e\"The 2022 Château Lynch-Bages is based on 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, and 3% each of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Its inky purple hue is followed by a sensational Pauillac that has a blockbuster (and classic Lynch-Bages) style in its darker currants, smoke tobacco, lead pencil, and crushed stone-driven aromatics. These carry to a full-bodied, powerful, massively concentrated 2022 that has a dense, layered mid-palate, velvety tannins, flawless balance, and a rare mix of power and elegance. This is a château that’s clearly firing on all cylinders, and this magical beauty will need a decade (or more) to hit the early stages of its prime drinking window.\u003cstrong\u003e Don't miss it!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e99 Points James Suckling: \u003c\/strong\u003e\"A beautifully layered red with blackcurrant, hazelnut and lead-pencil character and fine, velvety tannins. Full-bodied and reserved. It’s like a tightly knit ball of polished tannins that are cashmere in texture. So very long and impressive. Give this time. A terrific Lynch.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan id=\"ctl00_ctl00_middleContent_pageContent_lblDescr\"\u003eThe Cazes family has owned Château Lynch-Bages since 1939 and today the property is in the hands of the talented Jean-Michel Cazes. This Fifth Growth estate has always over-performed and today remains one of the most sought after and accessible Bordeaux. Aged for 18 months in 75% new oak barrels, this dry red is full-bodied with dark fruits and sweet spices.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/3826\/files\/Top_11_eb9f69e5-e87b-4011-a965-65f09370c599_480x480.jpg?v=1691119209\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e","brand":"Chateau Ducru Beaucailloux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40602514260050,"sku":"7189603090514","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/3826\/files\/Lynch_Bages_18_f43f6b9b-0a28-46fe-a2f9-58a695fe2481.jpg?v=1771365200","url":"https:\/\/www.brix26.com\/products\/chateau-lynch-bages-pauillac","provider":"Brix26 Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
