Chateau Lynch Bages 2023

Description

Description

Blend: 71% Cabernet Sauvignon; 24% Merlot; 3% Cabernet Franc; 2% Petit Verdot.

The 2023 has the same tannin measurement as the monumental 2022 (IPT 95). Although of similar intensity to the previous vintage, it is more sculpted and architectural. Historically a wine so expressive of cassis and generosity, this version has precise notes of filigree minerality and dark, earthy spice. The new winery has added precision and density from the extraction. It feels like a new chapter in the history of Lynch-Bages as the wine evolves into a more complete and assertive expression of its previous self. This is a serious wine and one for long ageing.
