Cassis and graphite emerge with cedar, sage and dried herbs in classic Pauillac fashion. The 72% Cabernet Sauvignon base shows well-integrated structure, while supporting Merlot and Cabernet Franc add roundness mid-palate. Despite the vintage's reputation, this has developed into a compelling wine with good length and mineral precision on the finish.

Lynch-Bages
→Lynch-Bages is a Fifth Growth Pauillac that has long punched well above its classification. The Cazes family built its reputation on plush, generous Cabernet Sauvignon-led reds that rival many a Second Growth in breadth and consistency.
