jebdunnuck.com, February 2019

The 2008 Lynch Bages is brilliant stuff as well as a textbook Pauillac. Revealing a still youthful ruby/purple color as well as impressive notes of graphite, cedar pencil, cassis, tobacco, and obvious minerality, it hits...

Vinous, July 2023

The 2008 Lynch-Bages is deep in color with minor aging on the rim. The nose is well-defined but demands coaxing, almost reluctantly revealing blackberry, briary, tobacco and mint aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with...

Wine Enthusiast, April 2011

In the powerful style of Lynch-Bages, although perhaps less exuberant than usual. Instead the concentration comes from juicy fruit, which gives it the a softer quality. Even so, it still has solid tannins, dense texture...

Connoisseur's Guide, March 2011

Our love affair with Lynch-Bages stretches back a good many years and while we have frankly been disappointed with the property in more recent harvests the 2008 is back in top form and offers up a stunning measure of deep...

Decanter, December 2017

More concentrated and tannic than many of the other Pauillacs in this vintage, with powerful cassis fruits, notes of liquorice and still-chewy tannins, with cigar box and menthol starting to tunnel though. It could do...

Lots of currant and lemon rind undertones. Full body, firm and silky tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Tight and linear but pretty and bright. Just opening now. Drink or hold.

Inky ruby in colour, with concentrated aromatics of cigar box, graphite, tobacco leaf, undergrowth, leather. Easy to sink into, with tannins that are beginning to soften but are still holding the brambled fruit in place...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, September 2018

Still quite young, this is a classic, long aging vintage for Lynch Bages. The tannins are strict, the fruit is fresh, there is volume and length with a finish that's all about the bright, spicy, high pitched, peppery...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, August 2011

A sensational effort for the vintage this textured opulent superb Lynch Bages is already strutting its stuff and should easily last for 20 years. Medium to full-bodied with an opaque dense purple color notes of flowers...

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, February 2012

Tasted ex-château and single blind in Southwold. The Lynch Bages 2008 is very well defined on the nose with more red instead of black fruits graphite and sous-bois intermingling with touches kirsch and cassis. This is a...

Wine & Spirits, October 2015

Jean-Michel Cazes has left an indelible mark on his hometown of Bages, a village within Pauillac where his family’s vineyard was once the most prominent feature. It’s now surrounded by a three-star Michelin restaurant...

Wine Spectator, April 2011

Very solid with a super beam of dark currant tobacco and iron pushed by charcoal melted fig and cocoa notes. This has a nicely rounded feel but there's plenty of grip in reserve. Best from 2013 through 2018. -J.M.
