A wine with great beauty and finesse. Such elegance and ethereal quality for this estate. Full body, with ultra-fine tannins and a juicy delicious finish. Long and beautiful. This is the best Lynch in a long, long time. I...

The 2010 Château Lynch-Bages is straight-up brilliant and shows the quality of this incredible château – as well as the vintage – beautifully. Still deep purple-hued, with a stunningly pure and classic Pauillac nose of...

Deep, brooding damson in colour, a waft of crushed mint and pencil lead from the first moment, combined with liqourice, smoked earth, turmeric, cloves, orange peel and cassis fruit. This is an excellent wine that is...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, March 2022

Still a saturated ruby-black in hue, the 2010 Lynch-Bages offers up aromas of rich cassis fruit mingled with hints of pencil shavings, loamy soil and cigar wrapper. Full-bodied, deep and muscular, it's rich and layered...

Decanter, November 2022

Smoked and sweet spices on the nose and palate balanced by juicy fruits - the dark black bramble berries now replaced with vibrant and uplifting red cherries, strawberries and raspberries. Youthful still at this 12-year...

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, March 2014

Tasted blind at the Southwold Bordeaux 2010 tasting. The Chateau Lynch Bages appears to be going from strength to strength in this vintage. The 2010 has a glorious bouquet with intense blackberry and boysenberry fruit...

Wine Enthusiast, February 2013

This sumptuous wine is driven by perfectly ripe fruit as well as dense, dusty and dry tannins. Great swathes of blackberry sweep across the palate, followed by juicy acidity. Such a combination will make this impressive...

Wine Spectator, March 2013

Roasted cedar, tobacco and bay leaf notes start off this structured but lively bottling, with intense currant, blackberry and black cherry flavors at the core. The iron-laced grip and pleasantly austere plum pit and...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, October 2019

Just an infant in its development, the wine is all about its potential. Powerful, full-bodied, concentrated and quite bright, fresh and tannic, the wine is not in a fun place to drink. The fruit is bright, lifted, fresh...

View From The Cellar, May 2013

Dark ruby in color, blackberry, mint, cedar, smoke, jam and earthy scents took some effort to find, as the wine is beginning to close down. Powerful, full bodied, tannic, dense, the wine is packed with fresh, crisp, spicy...

Vinous, July 2023

The 2010 Lynch-Bages has a tightly wound nose: introverted black fruit, cedar and mint. Touches of iris flower and pencil box both emerge with aeration. These aromatics say: "Come back later." The palate is medium-bodied...

The 2010 Lynch Bages is a Bordeaux Blend that hails from the esteemed Pauillac sub-region of Bordeaux, France. This wine exudes elegance and finesse, showcasing the best qualities of this renowned estate. With a deep ruby-black color, it immediately captivates the eye and promises a rich and complex experience.

On the nose, the 2010 Lynch Bages reveals enticing aromas of ripe cassis fruit, intertwined with hints of pencil shavings, loamy soil, and cigar wrapper. These aromatics create a symphony of scents that are both alluring and sophisticated. As the wine graces the palate, its full-bodied and muscular nature is evident, with a concentrated core of fruit that is framed by firm, powdery tannins and lively acids.

Renowned wine critic Robert Parker's Wine Advocate describes this vintage as the most brooding and backward Lynch Bages of the decade, and one of the true successes of the vintage. Despite being a decade old, this wine is still in its infancy and will continue to evolve and improve with age. Those fortunate enough to have bottles in their cellars may be tempted to try one now out of curiosity, but the true potential of this 2010 vintage won't be fully realized until it reaches its stride around the age of 20.

Other esteemed wine critics have also lauded the 2010 Lynch Bages. James Suckling gives it an impressive score of 98, praising its great beauty, finesse, and precision. Neal Martin's Wine Journal awarded it 96 points, highlighting its glorious bouquet, medium-bodied palate with fine definition, and wonderful focus and poise.

The 2010 Lynch Bages has a remarkable aging potential and will reward those with patience. It is recommended to wait at least 10 years before approaching this wine, allowing its massive tannins to soften and integrate further. Nonetheless, this wine already showcases its impeccable balance and potential, making it an exceptional addition to any cellar.

With its outstanding reviews, the 2010 Lynch Bages has undoubtedly solidified its status as a classic and exemplary Bordeaux wine. It showcases the typicity of the Pauillac appellation, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a quintessential expression of this prestigious region.
