    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Deep and harmonious on the nose, with classic pure blackcurrant fruit; the fruit dominates on the palate also, with pure fresh cassis blending with berries and currants, all backed by hints of fruitcake and almonds. Tasted again two days later there was more focus on the terroir, showing a more serious, Pauillac side to the wine. In both cases the fruit is fully ripe and the tannins are mouth-coating but very fine. Deep, with delicate mushroomy tinges, lots of grip and great balance. A fine Lynch.

    Neal Martin,

    The 2007 Lynch-Bages is well-defined on the nose with blackberry, raspberry coulis, loam and melted tar aromas, quintessentially Pauillac and gaining delineation in the glass. There is just a scintilla of sur-maturité when I return to this wine ten minutes later. The palate is medium-bodied and precocious with sweet black fruit laced with tobacco and graphite, but it lacks some amplitude and complexity on the finish. Tasted at the Lynch-Bages vertical at the château.

    An underrated vintage that is delivering easy to drink signature Pauillac. Pencil lead, smoked cedar, sandalwood, concentrated mint leaf, cassis and bilberry, with finesse, balance and juice. A seductive, moreisih and beautifully balanced wine that is ready to enjoy, but will continue to deliver over the next decade. 70% new oak.
