Critic reviews
"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Lynch Bages sashays out of the glass with flamboyant scents of baked blackcurrants, blackberry preserves and mulberries plus touches of lavender, dark chocolate, star anise and unsmoked cigars. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has bags of class and finesse with firm, finely-grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and fragrant."
Lisa Perrotti-Brown, March 2020, RobertParker.com
"The 2017 Lynch-Bages has a pure bouquet with ebullient black cherry and blueberry fruit. The oak is neatly integrated, precise and controlled. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit. It's pretty dense with graphite-infused black fruit. This clams up towards a finish that is a little more austere than other recent vintages, although I admire its focus and structure. Great potential. Tasted at the Lynch-Bages vertical at the château."

"The 2017 Lynch-Bages is such a pretty and engaging wine; as always, it is a wine of pure and total seduction. Lush, open-knit and very pretty with ripe red and purplish fruit. There is a slight bit of edginess in the tannin that needs to be resolved, but cellaring should take care of that."
