Vinous – Antonio Galloni – 96/100
An utterly fabulous wine, the 2018 Lynch-Bages captures all of the richness
and generosity that make the year so appealing, and yet doesn’t stray too
far from its classic feel. Rose petal, lavender, spice, sweet red berry fruit
and mint are all beautifully lifted in the glass. Racy and silky to the core,
the 2018 is a real head-turner from the very first taste. All the elements fall
into place effortlessly. Readers will have a very hard time keeping their
hands off this jewel of a wine.

Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate – 96/100
Composed of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Lynch-Bages was aged in 75% new barriques. Deep garnet-purple in color, it soars out of the glass with a magnificently expressive nose of blueberry compote, black cherry preserves and blackcurrant pastilles, plus suggestions of dark chocolate, licorice, tar and violets with a waft of hoisin. The medium to full-bodied palate is just as impactful as the nose, coating the mouth with juicy black berry and spicy layers, supported by firm, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long with a refreshing earthiness coming through at the end.
