Chateau Lynch Bages, Pauillac 2016 Bodegas Pirineos smooth on the entry but

smooth on the entry but with enough grip and freshness to finish dry and refreshing

Subtly honeyed with waxed lemon and stone fruits

Still very lively considering the age

This delicious mix is complemented by subtle spice notes with a well-structured mouthfeel

Delicate palate with superb herbaceousness fresh citrus and generous acidity

Chateau Lynch Bages, Pauillac 2016 Bodegas Pirineos smooth on the entry butTasted blind. Pretty heady, verging on volatile! A little sweet, oily and flashy. But then it tightens up on the palate and is really very impressive. Inky but correct. Dry finish maybe just too dry. Rather St Estphe like. A long life ahead. Jancisrobinson. com (17+)
