The 2019 Château Lynch-Bages is stunningly good, and it's going to be interesting to compare this to the 2018 over the coming decades. Based on 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, brought up in 75% new French oak, its dense purple hue is followed by an incredible bouquet of pure crème de cassis, freshly sharpened cedar pencil, spring flowers, smoke, and graphite, with an almost liqueur of rocks-like minerality. A massive, incredibly concentrated Lynch-Bages, Jean-Charles has hit a home run in the vintage, and this sensational wine has building, perfect tannins, insane purity, and a finish that won't quit. It has the purity, finesse, balance, and depth to offer pleasure not only today but to evolve for 40 to 50 years. Smart money will hide these for a good 7-8 years, but wow, what a wine. Bravo.

The 2019 Lynch Bages is every bit as magnificent from bottle as it was from barrel, if not moreso. What a wine! Towering and vertical in its bearing, the 2019 is a total stunner. There is plenty of Lynch Bages charm, but what distinguishes the 2019 most is its spine of tannin and energy. Time in the glass brings out sweet red cherry, plum, blood orange and pomegranate and mint. The 2019 is a great, great, great Lynch Bages. It reminds me of the epic 1989, but with the youthful grip of this vintage. A towering Pauillac, the 2019 Lynch Bages will make a great addition to any cellar. (AG)

Intense, dark currant fruit on the nose and palate with pronounced lead-pencil character unmistakably placing the wine in Pauillac. Powerful tannins evident on the palate, plenty of acidity and new oak characters all interwoven suggesting this will need several years to meld, but will provide great drinking in 5+ years. Lynch-Bages continues to way over-deliver on it's Fifth Growth status – this rivals most Second Growths. (AH)

Tight black fruits, run through with espresso, cocoa bean and bitter black chocolate shavings. Brilliant quality, with tannic heft and precision. Takes a jump halfway through the palate and lifts right off. I have tasted this several times over the past few months, and it consistently performs. 75% new oak, Eric Boissenot consults.

Lynch-Bages' 2019 elevates all the elements I adore about the property. Aromatically, it feels like it could come from nowhere else but the heart of Pauillac. On the palate, it is deeply concentrated yet never heavy, with seamless tannins and incredible texture. The wine boasts remarkable length, and while it’s only hinting at its potential right now, it is accessible enough to offer plenty of enjoyment, even at this early stage. Jean-Michel Cazes once told me that his wines should be thirst-quenching and refreshing, leaving you constantly reaching for the next glass. This 2019 embodies that style and serves as a beautiful tribute to what he crafted over the years. The 2019 Lynch-Bages will long be remembered in the pantheon of greats from this remarkable estate, and thanks to the vintage, it is also incredibly reasonably priced.

Notes

97 points Neal Martin for Vinous: "The 2019 Lynch-Bages has an outgoing bouquet, the new oak not as well integrated as its peers at the moment, more inchoate by comparison. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, quite saline with black pepper, controlled and focused towards the classy finish. It oozes sophistication and feels extraordinarily long. Wondrous." (02/2023)
