Wine Enthusiast, April 2010

Rich, impressively ripe fruit, the fruit dense and black, with juicy black plum flavors followed by dusty tannins. The wine is chunky, powerful for the year, the dryness smoothed by new wood. — Roger Voss

The 2007 Lynch Bages is a Bordeaux Blend from the Pauillac sub-region of Bordeaux, France. This red wine presents itself with a dark plum/purple color, as noted by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, which also highlights its appealing tobacco leaf, bay leaf, black currant, and earthy loamy notes. Scoring an 88 from Parker's publication, it is described as "delicious, supple, and close to full maturity," suggesting it is best consumed over the next several years.

Mike Supple from JJ Buckley gave this wine an 89, pointing out its thick texture with a dark purple core and fuchsia rim. He noted the presence of coffee aromas complemented by dark cherry and blackberry fruits. Supple also observed "fairly chewy tannins" and a chalky finish, indicating a complex yet balanced profile.

Wine Spectator's review aligns with Supple's assessment, also awarding the wine an 89. It mentions berry and currant aromas and flavors, with fine tannins and a slightly dilute finish. This suggests a medium-bodied wine that holds a subtle elegance.

Jane Anson offers a particularly excellent review, awarding the 2007 Lynch Bages a score of 93. She describes it as an "underrated vintage" that embodies the signature characteristics of Pauillac. With notes of pencil lead, smoked cedar, sandalwood, cassis, and bilberry, Anson praises its finesse and balance. She finds it "seductive, moreish, and beautifully balanced," noting that it remains ready to enjoy but will continue to deliver enjoyment over the next decade. It is also highlighted that the wine is aged in 70% new oak, contributing to its complex profile.

In summary, the 2007 Lynch Bages offers a diverse array of flavors and aromas, with a range of reviews noting its charm and balance, making it a wine worth exploring now and into the future.
