Beginning to open magnificently, the still dense purple-colored 2000 reveals a blossoming bouquet of blackberries, cassis, graphite and pen ink. Full-bodied with velvety tannins that have resolved themselves beautifully over the last eleven years, this wine is still an adolescent, but it exhibits admirable purity, texture, mouthfeel and power combined with elegance. One of the all-time great examples of Lynch Bages, the 2000 is just beginning to drink well yet promises to last for another 20-25+ years. (RP)

Wine Spectator

This has a dense but well-defined core of currant and fig paste flavors supported by a gorgeous graphite spine. Long and authoritative, with notes of bay, pepper, leather and juniper slowly emerging on the finish. Terrific structure and integration give this a chiseled feel. No rush here.--Blind 2000 Bordeaux retrospective (December 2015). Drink now through 2033. (JM, Web only-2016)

Typical of Lynch-Bages in its sumptuous rich style, this is a resounding success for the team of Jean-Michel Cazes. With its sweet fruit, opulent but balanced wood and red and black fruit flavors, it is a wine that will develop relatively quickly but will certainly age. (RV)

Review Date: 01/2012
Deep ruby-red. Knockout aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, mocha and cedar complicated by scorched earth and tobacco. Big, ripe and dense, with flavors similar to the aromas and a seamless, rich texture. Though powerful and rich, with a sensual mouthfeel, it maintains a graceful, light-on-its-feet quality. Finishes with ripe, fine-grained tannins and excellent length. Still an infant, but clearly a great vintage for this property. (ID) 94+

Please detail any special handling requests at checkout online, or call us with specific instructions. 95 points Neal Martin's Wine Journal: "Ex-cellar bottle tasted blind at the Lynch Bages vertical. This has a more introverted, sulky nose with intense black fruits infused with hints of leather, sous-bois and a touch of crushed stone. Brilliant definition. The palate is medium-bodied, well balanced but a little conservative. Supremely well focused, a wine surfeit with crisp black fruits, a touch of graphite and blueberry, leading to a grippy, tannic finish. Wonderful but barely out of the starting block. Drink 2015-2035+ Tasted September 2009." (03/2010)
