Outstandingly consistent quality............
The estate’s reputation as a top quality wine producer took off in 1945 after a series of exceptional vintages. Since then, Lynch-Bages has continued to produce excellent wines, even during years considered difficult in the Bordeaux region. The wine’s deep colour and tannic backbone have become part of its signature style. Jean-Michel Cazes, grandson of Jean-Charles, has worked hard to develop and refine the wine’s supple and smooth structure over the years. Vintage after vintage, the estate’s precise and excellent winemaking techniques have served to firmly establish Lynch-Bages reputation for consistent quality.

| Rating | 95 RP - Still a spectacular wine the 1961 defies mortality. It has been at its peak for nearly 15 years yet it shows no signs of losing its fruit and drying out. The color is a dark garnet with orange/amber at the edge. The profound bouquet has the magnetic allure that leaves great Bordeaux unmatched for complexity. Sweet notes of dried fruits herbs tobacco smoke and roasted meats are followed by an opulently-textured thick nearly viscous wine with high glycerin ripe jammy fruit and an intoxicating combination of glycerin extract and suppleness. The wine holds in the glass without cracking up and has a good 40-45 second finish. There is no telling how much longer this 1961 will retain its magic but it is still a classic. RP |
