Chateau Lynch Bages 2016 Pauillac, Bordeaux

"99 Points.  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 willmake a great addition to any cellar."--Antonio Galloni, Vinous
