The key to the success of the 2014 vintage was the hot dry weather during September and October, with lovely sunny days and cooler nights. During harvest, all the indicators of a great wine were present: Generous sugar levels enveloping abundant tannins, an intense color and all nicely balanced by a lovely acidity. The wine has a deep color and an aromatic nose; it is rich and unctuous on the palate, perfectly enveloped in silky tannins. This vintage is distinguished by a beautiful balance of power, freshness, and elegance.

Critic Reviews

Wine Spectator
94 Points
"94 Points, Wine Spectator: ""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."""

"96 Points, James Suckling: ""Aromas of currants, blackberries and blackcurrants with hints of chocolate and spices. Full body, firm and silky tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Juicy and muscular wine. Needs three or four years to open. Beautiful."" 4/17"

"94+ Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: ""The 2014 Lynch-Bages is just as powerful and dense from bottle as it was from barrel. Deep, powerful and bold, it possesses remarkable richness in all of its dimensions. Ripe red cherry, spice, leather, tobacco and rose petal all develop in the glass, but it is the wine's sheer amplitude today that is quite remarkable. It will need quite a bit of cellaring to be at its best, and is clearly built to age. This is a terrific showing from the Cazes family. The blend is 69 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 26 % Merlot, 3 % Cabernet Franc and 2 % Petit Verdot."" 2/17"
