The wine of Château Lynch-Bages is part of the lineage of the great Pauillac wines. Blended mostly from Cabernet Sauvignon it combines structure and finesse elegance and longevity. It is further distinguished by its opulence. Generous right from its youth it develops more flavours and greater complexity as it matures."
Wine Advocate: 97 Points
"Beginning to open magnificently the still dense purple-colored 2000 reveals a blossoming bouquet of blackberries cassis graphite and pen ink. Full-bodied with velvety tannins that have resolved themselves beautifully over the last eleven years this wine is still an adolescent but it exhibits admirable purity texture mouthfeel and power combined with elegance. One of the all-time great examples of Lynch Bages the 2000 is just beginning to drink well yet promises to last for another 20-25+ years."
Wine Spectator: 96 Points
This is a superstructured wine with loads of plum blackberry and licorice. Full-bodied with chewy tannins and a long finish. Gorgeous. Tight. Needs time.
Wine Enthusiast: 95 Points
Typical of Lynch-Bages in its sumptuous rich style, this is a resounding success for the team of Jean-Michel Cazes. With its sweet fruit, opulent but balanced wood and red and black fruit flavors, it is a wine that will develop relatively quickly but will certainly age.
James Suckling: 95 Points
"Another wonderful 2000 coming out of its long sleep. Beautiful aromas of berry tobacco herb and spice that follow through to a full palate with round textured tannins and lots of fruit."
