About Chateau Lynch Bages 2014 Cru Classe, Pauillac
Classified Growth Bordeaux Chateau Lynch Bages has for decades performed well beyond its Fifth Growth status. Each vintage it stands among the very best Bordeaux reds in quality. And why not, with ideal terroir in the elite village of Pauillac this Chateau has everything going for it.
The 2014 vintage is a blend of 69% Cabernet, 26% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot and is aged 18 months in French Oak Barrels (75% new wood). The wine has a deep colour and an aromatic nose; it is rich and unctuous on the palate, perfectly enveloped in silky tannins. This vintage is distinguished by a beautiful balance of power, freshness and elegance.
James Suckling scored this 96 Points saying, "Aromas of currants, blackberries and blackcurrants with hints of chocolate and spices. Full body, firm and silky tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Juicy and muscular wine. Needs three or four years to open. Beautiful."
Wine Enthusiast scored this 95 Points saying, "Fragrant and perfumed, this wine is the epitome of great Cabernet Sauvignon. It is fruity, juicy yet with serious concentrated tannins. There is spice from the wood aging along with a dash of pepper, all the while just bringing out the beautiful black-currant flavors. Drink this wine from 2024."
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate scored this 95 Points saying, "The 2014 Lynch-Bages is full of promise, offering up a classic bouquet of rich but vibrant blackcurrant fruit mingled with with hints of loamy soil, cedar and vanilla pod. Full-bodied, deep and layered, with an abundance of ripe but youthfully assertive tannin, lively acids and a long, resonant finish, it will hit its stride in 10 to 15 years. This is an excellent Lynch-Bages that represents especially good value in the contemporary marketplace."
Decanter scored this 95 Points saying "Very well-expressed natural concentration of fruit, very ripe tannins and lots of complexity to come. A richly textured, firmly structured wine with the Lynch-Bages hallmarks for the future."
Wine Spectator scored this 94 Points saying, "This has beguiling hints of plum cake and melted licorice peeking out, while a core of cassis and blackberry confiture waits in reserve. There’s ample grip, but this remains very polished and integrated, with lovely echoes of anise and fruitcake showing through the very lengthy finish. Will be hard to keep your hands off this while it ages. Best from 2019 through 2035."
