2005 Château Lynch-Bages, Pauillac, BordeauxThis is tremendously harmonious on the nose, with notes of ripe dark fruit and hints of mint and spice. There are oodles of ripe black fruit on the palate, which is rich and fine, perfectly balanced by crisp acidity and fine tannins. It is satisfying and elegant on the finish. The wine is drinking well now and will do over the next decade or so. Chris Pollington, Account Manager, Berry Bros. & Rudd (September 2025)
