2009 CHATEAU LYNCH-BAGES PAUILLAC 5EME GRAND CRU CLASSE 750ML

Rich ripe opulent 2009 has the highest level of polyphenols ever measured at Lynch-Bages as well as high alcohol (nearly 13.5%). Gorgeous to taste it may well remain so throughout its life such is the ripeness of both fruit and tannin. One can imagine drinking the 09’s young to enjoy the exuberance of their fruit but much greater pleasure will be obtained through the exercise of patience.
