CRITIC REVIEWS
Robert M. Parker, Jr.
As for the 2005 Lynch-Bages, it is a sexy, surprisingly soft and accessible style of wine, with a deep ruby/purple color, loads of crème de cassis, cedar wood and forest floor notes, medium to full body, ripe tannin and a long, fleshy finish. Drink it over the next 15+ years.
Julia Harding MW
Meaty, moreish dark fruit balanced by cedary freshness. Tannins are firm but fine-grained and the fruit is still juicy on the finish. (JH)
