This vintage has garnered high praise from several renowned wine critics. Neal Martin from Vinous awarded it a stellar 96 points, describing it as having "a very complex bouquet with layers of blackberry and bilberry fruit, crushed stone, cedar and graphite." He notes the wine's intensity, precision, and persistence, predicting a promising future.

Wine Enthusiast also gave this vintage 96 points, highlighting its full-bodied and ripe character with "black-currant and dark berry fruits." The tannins are described as integrating seamlessly into the wine, suggesting it will benefit from aging until 2026.

James Suckling, who rated the wine 95 points, praised its "brambly and attractive ripe blackberries and red-plum aromas with some floral accents." He commends its plush, polished tannins and impressive finish, recommending it be enjoyed from 2022 onwards.

Jeff Leve from TheWineCellarInsider.com also awarded it 95 points, noting its power, depth, and concentrated layers of fruit. He emphasizes the wine's freshness and vibrancy, advising that it will need at least a decade to reach its full potential.

Wine Spectator and Jeb Dunnuck both rated the wine 94 points. Wine Spectator’s James Molesworth described it as having "an ample core of plum, fig and blackberry compote flavors, underlined liberally with graphite and smoldering tobacco notes," and noted its well-built structure. Jeb Dunnuck highlighted its "ripe blackcurrants, caramelized cherries, tobacco leaf and a kiss of lead pencil," describing it as a "textbook Pauillac" with notable concentration.

Jane Anson and Decanter also rated the wine 94 points. Anson noted its excellent quality but mentioned it has "a little less depth through the mid-palate than the 2014 or 2016," suggesting it may simply be closed down at present. Decanter praised its "beguiling fragrance of cherries and blackcurrants" and its "supreme elegance," suggesting it has yet to hit its stride.

Lastly, The Wine Independent awarded it 93 points, noting its deep garnet color and complex flavors of "crème de cassis, plum preserves, and Morello cherries," complemented by "firm, chewy tannins and lively acidity."

Overall, the 2015 Lynch Bages is a complex, well-structured wine with a promising future, highly recommended for those willing to cellar it and wait for its full potential to unfold.
