This vintage was ideal for the rich style that this estate has made its own. This wine is full bodied and ripe with black-currant and dark berry fruits. The tannins fall into the cushioned wine with ease and richness. Of course the wine should be aged so wait until 2026. ROGER VOSS

One of the finest Pauillacs of 2015 Lynch-Bages is rich racy and voluptuous. A rush of dark red and purplish stone fruit mint new leather spice and blood orange give the 2015 a very decidedly exotic character that is impossible to miss. Raspberry jam mocha new leather and expressive floral notes appear with time in the glass rounding things out nicely. Even though the 2015 is quite forward and open at this stage the wine has plenty of stuffing as well as the underlying structure to support many years of exceptional drinking. This is a stellar showing for Lynch-Bages. -- Antonio Galloni

Brambly and attractive ripe blackberries and red-plum aromas with some floral accents too. The palate has a very plush polished and regal shape as tannins frame up a core of ripe black fruit. Succulent impressive finish. Best from 2022.

The inky colored 2015 Château Lynch-Bages is a seriously impressive Pauillac that’s up with the crème de la crème of the appellation in 2015. Notes of ripe blackcurrants caramelized cherries tobacco leaf and a kiss of lead pencil all emerge from this textbook Pauillac that has medium to full-bodied richness notable concentration and building structure. Made from 70% Cabernet Sauvignon 24% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot that saw 75% new barrels it needs 5-7 years of cellaring and will be one of the longer-lived wines from the Médoc.
Wine Spectator: 94 Points
This has an ample core of plum fig and blackberry compote flavors underlined liberally with graphite and smoldering tobacco notes. Fleshy and focused with ample grip through the juniper- and tar-accented finish. Well-built. Best from 2023 through 2038. ? JM
