This Fifth Growth has the heart and swagger of a Second. It's Bordeaux that knows how to have a good time.
The Reliable Overachiever
There are Bordeaux châteaux that rest on their laurels, and then there is Lynch-Bages, the ever-reliable powerhouse that delights in punching above its class. The 2014 vintage is classic in all the right ways, full of cool confidence. On the nose, you get a cascade of cassis, dark cherry, and cigar box, chased by graphite and tobacco leaf.
The palate is full-bodied and structured, but with a refined clarity that makes it delicious now, though it will age gracefully for decades. The Cazes family's steady stewardship has made it a darling of collectors and dinner party hosts alike.
How to Enjoy
This classic Pauillac calls for classic pairings. Think roasted leg of lamb, beef Wellington, or a perfectly grilled steak.
