Masses of Asian spice, earl grey tea flavours and pure cassis. Huge rich cherry menthol and black fruits. Weighty and serious. Absolutely brilliant finish. Very exciting. Best Lynch? 94-96 points. (Unc 04/04/11)

Neal Martin
The 2010 Lynch-Bages has a tightly wound nose: introverted black fruit, cedar and mint. Touches of iris flower and pencil box both emerge with aeration. These aromatics say: `Come back later.` The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, fine acidity and firm grip. It feels linear towards the finish but is fresh with an attractive underlying marine note that enlivens and lends complexity to the finish. This is outstanding, but it is only for those with patience. Tasted at the Lynch-Bages vertical at the château. 95 points
