CHÂTEAU LYNCH-BAGES 2010 (1)
Pauillac. 5ième Cru Classé
u. bn. marked label.
Still a saturated ruby-black in hue, the 2010 Lynch-Bages offers up aromas of rich cassis fruit mingled with hints of pencil shavings, loamy soil and cigar wrapper. Full-bodied, deep and muscular, it's rich and layered, with a concentrated core of fruit that's framed by firm, powdery tannins and lively acids. The most brooding, backward Lynch-Bages of the decade and one of the real successes of the vintage, this is a vibrant, tightly wound wine that is still an infant at age 10. Drink to 2067 WA 97
CHÂTEAU PONTET-CANET 2003 (1)
Pauillac. 5ième Cru Classé
u. bn. marked label.
The spectacular 2003 Pontet Canet is still incredibly young and vigorous. This full-bodied classic boasts a dense purple color as well as a superb nose of graphite, creme de cassis, forest floor, licorice and a hint of truffles, low acidity, and extravagant richness. Most of the tannins have been resolved in this superstar of the vintage. It should continue to drink well for 10-15+ years. Issue date 27 August 2014 Drink: 2014-2029 WS 94 WA 95+
