Lynch Bages 2019 MAGNUM

Jeb Dunnuck 100/100 - #2 wine of 2022

A magnificent bottling for a momentous occasion: the Château Lynch-Bages 2019 Magnum!

This Pauillac estate, steered by the Cazes family (Jean-Charles Cazes), consistently outperforms its Fifth Growth status, producing wines of legendary power and concentration. The 2019 vintage is hailed as excellent in Bordeaux, earning a 93-point score from Wine Spectator for the region. This particular wine has received stunning acclaim, with Jeb Dunnuck awarding 100 points and Wine Spectator giving 96 points.

The blend is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon (70%) alongside Merlot (24%), with small additions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. On the palate, expect a dense, layered experience with classic cassis, cedar, mint, and graphite notes, supported by building, perfect tannins. A true powerhouse, the 2019 offers immense purity and finesse. While approachable from 2026, its best drinking window stretches to 2055 and beyond, making this magnum a superb investment for the cellar.
