Lynch Bages 2005 (750ML)
The 2005 vintage is one of Lynch-Bages' greatest recent vintages. A warm summer, near-drought conditions, and a rain-free harvest led to exceptional fruit. The wine's potential was evident even before fermentation. Aged in 80% new oak, this wine showcases the exceptional fruit and powerful tannins.

Reviews
James Suckling
A meaty and decadent Lynch with very ripe currant aromas on the nose. Full body, velvety-textured tannins and a powerful finish. It shows so much structure and fruit yet remains polished and focused. Lovely now to drink but better in 2017...96 JS 10/15
Robert Parker
As one might suspect, the dense purple-hued 2005 is still tannic, firm and young, with concentrated blackberry and cassis fruit, beautiful ripeness, a full-bodied mouthfeel and undeniable youthfulness...94+. Robert Parker, WA 8/11.
Wine Advocate
The Château Lynch-Bages 2005 has an enthralling graphite and cedar scented bouquet, like a young cousin of the Grand Puy Lacoste. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, one of the most feminine and elegant Lynch Bages in recent years with a lightness of touch on the finish. That is not to say it lacks fruit intensity, but the balance is so assured that is just seems to glide over the mouth. Stylish, assured and meticulous winemaking here."..94 Neal Martin, WA
