Château Lynch-Bages 2014 is a Pauillac blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot sourced from the deep Garonne gravels of the Bages plateau. The 2014 vintage was defined by a cool, damp summer that was redeemed by an exceptional Indian summer throughout September and October, allowing for late phenolic development and the preservation of high acidity. This bottling was aged for 18 months in 75% new French oak, displaying a more linear and athletic profile than the broader 2015. On the palate, the wine offers the classic Lynch-Bages power with concentrated notes of cassis, graphite and cedar, backed by a firm, granular tannic spine that suggests extensive cellaring potential.
