Château Lynch-Bages Grand Cru Classé Pauillac 2014

The 2014 Lynch-Bages is full of promise, offering up a classic bouquet of rich but vibrant blackcurrant fruit mingled with with hints of loamy soil, cedar and vanilla pod. Full-bodied, deep and layered, with an abundance of ripe but youthfully assertive tannin, lively acids and a long, resonant finish, it will hit its stride in 10 to 15 years. This is an excellent Lynch-Bages that represents especially good value in the contemporary marketplace.

This has beguiling hints of plum cake and melted licorice peeking out, while a core of cassis and blackberry confiture waits in reserve. There’s ample grip, but this remains very polished and integrated, with lovely echoes of anise and fruitcake showing through the very lengthy finish. Will be hard to keep your hands off this while it ages. Best from 2019 through 2035.

93 -Jeb Dunnuck -

A solid wine in the vintage, the 2014 Château Lynch Bages is youthfully purple-hued, with some classic Lynch Bages richness and depth in its ripe black (and some blue) fruits as well as freshly sharpened pencil, graphite, and floral nuances. It's medium-bodied, has a balanced mouthfeel, ripe, nicely integrated tannins, and outstanding length, with a bright spine of acidity.

92 -Vinous -

The 2014 Lynch-Bages has a wonderful, precise, focused bouquet that exudes class. The oak is beautifully assimilated with superb mineralité. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a dash of white pepper and sage, gaining depth towards the harmonious and almost Saint-Julien-inspired finish. Probably ready now, but can drink over the next 15 to 20 years. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.

Lynch-Bages has been called a Fifth Growth on paper and a First Growth in the glass, a distinction earned over decades of consistently overdelivering relative to its 1855 classification. The Cazes family has been at the helm since the 1930s, and the estate remains one of the most recognized names in Pauillac for good reason. The 2014 is a serious wine from a vintage that rewards those who paid attention: James Suckling awarded 96, Decanter 95, Wine Advocate 95, Wine Enthusiast 95, Wine Spectator 94, and Vinous 92. Classic cassis, tobacco, graphite, and cedar aromatics lead to a full, well-structured palate with impressive freshness and length. Now approaching a lovely drinking window with a decade or more of evolution still ahead, and priced incredibly well for the address.

About The Producer

Château Lynch-Bages, a Fifth Growth in Pauillac classified in 1855, has built a reputation that far exceeds its ranking. Acquired by the Cazes family in 1939, the estate became one of Bordeaux’s most beloved names thanks to consistent quality, powerful Cabernet-driven blends, and international acclaim. Today, Lynch-Bages is undergoing a new chapter with modern facilities while maintaining its classic, age-worthy Pauillac style.
