2020 Chateau Lynch-Bages, Pauillac, France (750ml) Veneto IGT with more hints of mochaWINEMAKER'S NOTES: #3 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2023 Blend: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot TASTING NOTES: beautifully layered red with blackcurrant, hazelnut and lead pencil character and fine, velvety tannins. Full bodied and reserved. Its like a tightly knit ball of polished tannins that are cashmere in texture. So very long and impressive. Give this time. A terrific Lynch. Better after 2027.
