    Blackcurrant and bramble fruit with savoury herbal nuances on the nose, this smells rich and potent. Tense and focussed, compact from the get go, present tannins give grip and hold. This is definitely not out to charm, more serious, stern and focussed but there's such overall precision. This is in high definition, supremely controlled and well worked with mouthfilling ripe tannins. I like the chewy aspect and there’s balancing acidity, hidden now by the density, that will sustain the wine for decades to come. Floral notes and some minerality come through giving the nuance so it’s not all heft, but there’s clear muscle on show. A long finish gives the sense of structure and style. An impressive wine. 95 IPT. 3.71pH. Ageing 18 months, 75% new oak. 3% Petit Verdot completes the blend. 4.1 g/L total acidity. Harvest 12 September - 24 September. Drinking window: 2030 - 2050. Georgina Hindle. April 2023.

    Couleur sombre, belle, aux reflets noirs. Nez intense, subtil, fruité, suave et profond. Délicat en entrée de bouche, suave, le vin évolue juteux, ample et profond, vers une grande finale complexe. Trame très serrée comme souvent, mais la puissance de la saveur domine le tannin. Décantation bien venue. Millésime très identitaire. A consommer de préférence entre 2036 et 2066. Février 2025.

    A plump wine that has a big, bold rounded texture, blackberry aromas and dense fruits. It has intense tannins, juicy black fruits and great richness. Its ripeness is typical of this estate. Drink from 2028. Roger Voss. January 2025.

    Ce vin m’a intrigué durant mes dégustations Primeurs et j’ai dû m’y reprendre à plusieurs reprises pour le comprendre, ou du moins pour savoir où il veut aller. Pour ce dernier point, je ne suis néanmoins pas vraiment certain d’avoir la bonne réponse. Quand un vin est autant marqué par la puissance, il est difficile d’avoir une lecture de l’ensemble. Un véritable paquet de muscle, avec une incroyable densité de tannins, austères de surcroît. Le bouquet, lui, offre une lecture plus claire. Il révèle de classiques notes de graphite, suivies de nuances de baies noires et de réglisse. On dira que pour l’instant c’est surtout le bouquet qui m’a aidé à donner une note à ce vin. J’espère que j’y verrai plus clair par la suite, mais je mets un grand point d’interrogation quant à ma note ! Elle correspond à l’espoir que j’ai quant à l’évolution du vin. Et comme je suis un optimise, ça aide ! 93-95/100. Avril 2023.

    Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
    The 2022 Lynch-Bages is one of the most muscular, chunky wines of the vintage in the Médoc, offering up aromas of dark berries, cherry preserve, pencil shavings and creamy new oak, followed by a full-bodied, rich and extracted palate that's dense and blocky. While Lynch-Bages always seems to come together with time, the 2022 is certainly going to require some patience. Drinking window: 2030 - 2055. 94+/100. William Kelley. March 2025.
